Vulcan House including attached rear range, and forecourt wall and gate

This is a large house dating to the late Georgian period, with a long wing added to the rear which was formerly used as industrial premises. The main house is built of rubble with brick dressings, but the exterior walls are rendered. It has a hipped slate roof with a tiled cresting (many slates were missing in 2006) and a single brick chimney stack at the rear. The house is three stories high, with a five-bay front elevation. The façade is articulated by pilaster strips at the corners and raised string courses to the upper floors, and arranged symmetrically, with wider openings emphasizing the central three bays. The central entrance is in a wide, segmentally arched opening with a prominent architrave and keystone. Originally, this contained a doorway with side-lights surmounted by a radial fanlight, but it was blocked in 2006. The wide flanking windows have shallow arched heads (formerly tripartite sashes with small panes), with the three central windows on the first floor matching this detail. The upper floor has three semi-circular windows (formerly with 4-pane sash windows as centre opening lights). Narrower window openings, originally with small-paned sashes, are found in the outer bays on each floor, except for the lower right-hand bay, which contains a wide, segmentally arched carriage entry leading to a rear yard.

A brick wing, likely added around 1900, stands to the rear, partly obscured by 20th-century flat-roofed additions. Adjoining the house and running parallel with Vulcan Street is a long, two-storeyed works range which probably formed part of the original foundry. This range has been significantly rebuilt in brick, but retains elements of an original early 19th-century structure including rubble walling and segmentally arched openings with brick dressings. The elevation facing Vulcan Street is cement rendered and blank.

A low rubble garden wall runs in front of the house, with brick gate piers at the centre. One pier retains shallow pyramidal coping, and a good 19th-century ironwork gate with spear-head railings, including a mid-rail with a curved brace below, is still present.

The building was severely decayed and not fully inspected.
