Description

16 Spilman Street is a town house from the 19th century, part of an informal terrace. The exterior is painted roughcast with a close-eaved slate roof and red brick stacks at the ends. The front features an irregular arrangement of four windows over two storeys. There is a raised painted plinth with a cellar hatch visible to the right of the doorway, along with a thin sill band and an eaves band. The door is located to the left of centre within an open-pedimented doorcase that has narrow console brackets. It is a six-panel door with four flush panels and a fanlight that includes radial and fan tracery. The windows are all 12-pane hornless sashes, with one to the left of the door and two to the right on the ground floor, while the first floor has three roughly evenly spaced windows, with only the left one aligned with the window below. The stone sills are painted, and the brick stacks are positioned just behind the ridge.

Inside, there is a half-glazed front door featuring coloured glass and marginal glazing bars. The ground floor room to the right showcases a well-crafted early 19th-century cornice with acanthus undercut leaves over an egg-and-dart moulding, along with a ceiling border of anthemion. The staircase includes stick balusters, a thin rail, and scrolled tread ends. Some internal shutters from the late Georgian or early Victorian period remain.
