Description

This is an end-of-terrace house, dating from the 18th century. It is three storeys high and has two bays: a prominent gabled bay to the left with bargeboards and a finial, and a recessed entrance bay to the right. The slate roof has a new red brick chimney on the left and bracketed eaves. The front facade is painted roughcast with a plinth.

The projecting gabled bay on the left features a three-storey canted bay window with a broader ground floor. This window has margin-glazed sashes and a close-eaved, hipped roof. There is a blind Gothic panel above the bay window. The windows on the upper two floors are smaller, with continuous sills and marginally glazed, horned sashes. The ground floor windows are larger and have a moulded cornice.

The bay to the right has marginally glazed, horned sash windows on the upper floors, overlooking a four-panel door with a plain, rectangular overlight set within an openwork porch. This porch is constructed from diamond-pattern timber trellis uprights flanking cast-iron, thin fluted columns supporting pierced ironwork with curved spandrels and rosettes. A timber cornice supports low cast-iron rails to the front and right, featuring a pattern of intersected half circles with florid finials set between bulbous angle posts and beneath a plain top rail.

The left-hand return is built of painted roughcast with a plinth, deep bracketed eaves, and aligned windows with marginally glazed sashes. A lower, two-storey rear wing is constructed of rubble stone with a slate, deep-eaved roof. There is a window on each floor, set to the right of the centre, with red brick voussoirs and marginally glazed sash windows. A smaller window on the ground floor to the right may be an altered door. The rear is of rubble stone with voussoired openings and various small, plain sash windows.

A low rubble stone wall with chamfered coping and iron rails, featuring cast-iron florid finials, runs to the front and left of the front garden. A matching gate with dog-bars is also present. The finials on the rails are similar to those on the balcony over the front door and those on the rails in front of the adjoining property, number 10.

The interior of the house has not been inspected.
