Description

Athol House is a Grade II listed shop and house, built with painted stucco and featuring a slate roof behind a parapet. It has a red brick stack at the right end and terracotta crested ridge tiles. The building stands three storeys tall and has two bays. The upper floor includes 4-pane sash windows, with their heads aligned with the parapet coping and set beneath raised curved stucco heads.

On the first floor, there are two canted oriel windows topped with ogee-curved hipped roofs, featuring 2-4-2-pane sashes, where the bottom rail of the top sash is curved, similar to those found on Clement Dale and Moray House in South Cliff Gardens. The full-width shopfront is flanked by panelled pilasters and has gabled brackets supporting the fascia, which is adorned with a dog-toothed cornice that extends around the base of the oriels. The shopfront includes two large plate-glass panes on the left and one on the right, with decorative small spandrel brackets supporting the posts. Narrow panes are canted inwards to a recessed glazed door that has an overlight engraved with a floral pattern.

Inside, there is an earlier 19th-century staircase featuring scrolled tread ends and stick balusters, along with a later 19th-century or early 20th-century lower flight that has turned newels and ball finials.
