Description

This building is the right half of a pair of houses, known as No 2 St Catherine's. It dates from the 19th century and features painted stucco with slate roofs, end stacks, and a ridge stack. The house has four storeys, a basement, and an attic, with a two-window range for each house. The design includes raised quoins and bands above the ground, second, and third floors, with a parapet that is corbelled on paired plain blocks. Each house has two gabled dormers.

The upper floors feature four-pane sash windows, and the inner bay above the doors has windows in rusticated surrounds. The entrances consist of two-panel doors with overlights. The outer bays have two-storey canted oriel windows with cornices and 2-4-2-pane sashes on the first and second floors, above a broad tripartite sash on the ground floor. The basement has a similar tripartite sash, although it has been altered on No 2.

The end walls and rear are slate-hung, with the slate-hanging renewed in the late 20th century. The rear features slate-hanging on the upper three storeys, with 12-pane sashes on each floor in the outer bays, while the centre bays have a projected section that was presumably added to the second and third floors. Dormers are located behind the parapet.

The area railings have uprights topped with fleur-de-lys finials.
