More House

More House is a two-storey and attic terraced house, dating from the 18th century. It is built of painted lined stucco with a slate roof and deep eaves supported by timber dentil brackets. Red brick stacks are at each end. The house has six windows across the front, with three hipped dormers in the attic, each having slated cheeks. The windows are narrow, eight-pane sashes with painted stone sills, although two ground floor windows have replacement sills. The two central doorways have overlights; the original left-hand door has a sandstone step and fixed 20th-century glazing to the overlight, while the right-hand door currently in use has a 20th-century six-panel door. In 1974, both doors were four-panel doors.

Inside, the entrance hall is square, with plastered beams. A fielded panelled six-panel door leads to the left-hand room. A narrow arch gives access to an early 18th-century dog-leg staircase, featuring a moulded plaster arch with a lion mask key and relief-moulded motifs on the soffit, including birds, with fluted impost blocks. The staircase rises in four flights, with a closed string, heavy moulded handrails, and square newels with finials. The first and third flights have thick oak turned balusters, while the balusters are missing on the second flight and boarded over on the fourth – they may also have been missing originally. A fielded two-panel door leads under the stairs. The upper floor has three six-panel doors. The present entrance lobby has early 20th-century coloured leaded glass to the inner door, alongside side lights.
