Kent House and railings

Kent House is a two-storey and attic terraced house, likely dating from the 18th century, and built with painted stucco over a slate roof. It has projecting stacks on each side. The front of the house has three window bays. Two flat-roofed dormers are visible, with plate glass sashes retaining their glazing bars. The first floor and the left-hand ground floor windows are plate glass sash windows with late 19th-century deep hoodmoulds supported by half-octagonal moulded corbels. A broad, two-storey bay window, also dating from the late 19th century, is on the right-hand side. This bay window has large plate glass sashes, with the central sashes on both floors particularly wide, and rounded upper corners. The house features modillion cornices on each floor and attached columns with Gothic capitals flanking the sash windows. Four stone steps lead up to a left-hand elliptical arched doorway with a plain fanlight above an 18th-century six-panelled door set within panelled reveals. The doorway is framed by a fine doorcase featuring two Roman Doric half-columns, an entablature, and an open pediment. A recessed basement doorway with a low six-panelled door is on the extreme right. The house is surrounded by painted low walls with spearhead wrought iron railings and square standards topped with urn finials. A matching gate with a scrolled mid-rail is located opposite the basement door. The interior has not been inspected, but is reported to contain good early 19th-century features, including a substantial staircase rising around a large rear staircase hall.
