Description
This is a two-storey and attic house, originally built in a Domestic Revival style, and later subdivided into flats. It dates to the 18th century, though significantly altered. The front has a roughcast ground floor and red plain tile cladding to the upper floors and roofs. Red brick chimneys are prominent, with tiles and chimneys renewed in 2000. The façade is asymmetrical, with a large chimney on the left end and a smaller stack on the right. A dormer with triple four-pane casements and a flat roof is set into the roof slope. The ground floor openings have depressed-arched heads. To the left is a four-pane sash window. A door with four fielded panels and three glazed panels is located to the left of centre, and a large tripartite sash window with a two-four-two-pane arrangement is to the right. To the left of the upper floors is a two-storey canted oriel, projecting beyond the eaves under a five-sided roof with a timber finial. The oriel has an ogee roughcast base and eight-sixteen-eight-pane glazing to each floor, with a moulded eaves cornice. To the right of the oriel is a hipped oriel to the first floor only, also with an ogee base, twelve-sixteen-twelve-pane glazing, and a door leading to a corner balcony instead of a sash window. A gable with bargeboards above the oriel contains a pair of small eight-pane sashes within a moulded wall-face frame. A painted timber balcony with a hipped roof is situated in the angle between the house and the adjoining buildings of St Stephens and Glendower Houses. The front garden is enclosed by iron railings with fleur-de-lys heads and urn finials to two piers; a grey limestone plinth runs along the base.
The rear elevation, facing The Norton, is roughcast with a red tile long roof and contains two levels of dormers. A flat dormer with a pair of casements is on the left, and a triple casement at a lower level is on the right. These are currently linked to the top of a three-storey canted bay on the left, which has eight-sixteen-eight-pane sashes on each floor and breaks the eaves under a five-sided hipped roof with a finial. Moulded cornices are present at the first floor and attic levels. The centre and left are characterised by openings with depressed-arched heads: paired eight-pane sashes above paired two-pane sashes on the left, and a single eight-pane sash above a door in the centre. The rear door is similar to the front door, with fielded and glazed panels and a plain overlight. The east return features a similar eight-pane sash above a similar door.
The entrance hall contains an ornate fireplace with a panelled overmantel and a cast-iron grate inscribed 'The Gold Medal Eagle Grate 1897'. Folding iron doors cover the grate, and embossed ochre-coloured tiles depicting a pastoral scene are set into the cheeks. A staircase is recessed; the first five steps lead to a broad platform, reputedly intended for musicians, with moulded square balusters and fluted newels. A dog-leg stair is located behind this, and is similarly detailed. A broad depressed archway features over the platform, paired with a narrow archway on the right leading to the rear ground floor.
