Scarborough House and Gunfort Mansions

Scarborough House and Gunfort Mansions is a block of flats built in the 19th century. It features a tall, five-storey facade made of stucco, with a slate roof that is hipped to the right, behind a plain parapet and brick chimney stacks. The facade has four bays, with two narrow bays on the left and two wider bays on the right, all fitted with 4-pane horned sash windows. The windows on the fourth floor have flat shouldered surrounds, while those on the third floor have moulded surrounds. The second and first floors do not have openings in the second bay, and there are two-storey canted bay windows at each end bay, both topped with hipped slate roofs. The third bay features a 4-pane sash window on the second floor and a French window on the first floor, which has an overlight set in a surround with pilasters and a cornice. A full-width iron railed balcony spans the first floor, supported by decorative cast-iron brackets.

The ground floor includes three long arch-headed windows, each with moulded stucco arches and a moulded impost band. In the second bay, there are three slate steps leading up to a tall arched doorway, which is framed by a stucco doorcase with pilasters and an entablature, the capitals of the pilasters aligned with the impost band. Above the door is a plain fanlight. The basement windows are at pavement level on the right side, as the street slopes down, becoming full height on the eastern end wall.

The eastern end wall features a parapet and a one-window range set to the right, with similar sash windows on both upper floors. Below, there is a two-storey canted oriel window, above a 20th-century fixed door with an overlight in a raised surround, supported by cornice on console brackets. The door is accessed via a steep flight of steps leading up to a flat platform, which is enclosed by decorative cast-iron railings (the steps were blocked off in 2001). Beneath the platform, there are two recessed doors, one of which leads to Gunfort Mansions. Matching curving railings extend around the corner to Cresswell Street.
