Description
Tenby House is a semi-detached town house built in the 19th century, featuring painted stucco and a roof hidden behind a parapet. The building has three storeys and a cellar, with a front elevation that consists of two bays offset to the right. The doorway is located in the inner bay, mirroring the adjacent house. All windows have been replaced with uPVC since 1981; originally, they were likely 16-pane sashes on the main floors and 12-pane sashes on the top floor. A plain stringcourse runs below the parapet.
Access to the house is via a flight of five broad sandstone steps with rounded nosings leading up to a portico porch set on a massive stone slab. The portico features two slender painted stone columns, pilaster responds, a deep frieze, and a cornice supporting a flat roof. The frieze has been altered, but the original modillions remain under the modified cornice. The recessed doorway includes an architrave, panelled reveals, and an overlight inscribed 'Tenby House', along with a 19th-century four-panel door with arched top panels.
At the rear, there is a stepped forward bay to the right with a string course beneath the parapet, finished in roughcast. The basement has a slate hipped lean-to around the base of a large 19th-century canted ground floor bay.
The forecourt is enclosed by 19th-century rendered dwarf walls topped with grey stone copings and cast-iron railings. The railings feature chamfered uprights that rise in pairs to create pointed arches below the top rail, along with moulded finials and a chamfered double bottom rail. The gate matches this design, complete with dog bars and finials, while the rails return on the left side. Simple wrought iron rails are found on the right, leading to the forecourt of No 88. Stone flags extend up to the front steps.
Inside, the ground floor has been altered, with the front room retaining remnants of a moulded cornice. The dividing wall to the back room has been removed, revealing a damaged 19th-century cornice and a floral ceiling border. To the right, there is an early 19th-century open-well staircase featuring straight balusters, closed panelled strings, square newels, and ramped rails. The extensive slate-paved wine cellars are believed to include a lock-up. Most doors have been altered, although some panelled doors are said to survive on the upper floors.
