Description

Nos 1, 2, and 3 Buckingham Place are a group of stone houses that partially incorporate two wings of a 16th-century house. Nos 1 and 3 are positioned at right angles and are connected diagonally by No 2. The buildings are constructed of stone with slate roofs and consist of two storeys plus attics. The exterior features mainly 19th-century windows with red brick dressings.

No. 3, located on the left, has a roof that is half-hipped to the left. Its front has three windows, with a tripartite sash window on both the left and right sides of the first floor, and a smaller sash window in the center. There are older relieving arches above these windows. On the ground floor, there is a prostyle columned porch over the doorway, which has an arched head. To the left of the doorway is another tripartite sash window, while to the right is a 17th-century mullion and transom window along with an original blocked doorway. The left side of the building features a small attic casement window and a single-storey lean-to. At the rear, there is a three-storey block from the late 18th or early 19th century, which has a Diocletian attic window and a tripartite sash window on both the first and ground floors, all set in exposed brick.

The main block of the house has two large lateral chimneys. On the first floor, at the left end, there is a two-light stone-mullioned window, followed by four single-light windows with cambered heads beneath square hoodmoulds, and then another two-light window to the right. The ground floor features a large opening with a round-arched head, a single-light window with a cambered head under a square hoodmould, and a 12-pane sash window with brick dressings.

No. 3 has notable interiors, including a fine early 19th-century curving staircase, and late 18th or early 19th-century panelled doors and doorcases. It also features 17th-century ovolo moulded ceiling beams. On the ground and first floors, there are recently uncovered large stone fireplaces, likely from the 17th century, with moulded surrounds; the ground floor fireplace has an arched head, while the first floor fireplace has a square head.
