Description

This is a large house, built at right angles to 2-8 The Terrace, featuring a higher ridge and eaves. It has an L-shaped plan with a broader entrance wing on the left and a shallower wing set back to the right. The exterior is made of stone rendered with stucco, topped with a Welsh slate roof that has boarded overhanging eaves. The chimney stacks are very narrow and positioned astride the ridge. The windows are mostly 6/6 pane sashes, adorned with moulded stucco architraves and bracketed sills. The main entrance, located at the gable end, features a central gabled porch with a moulded doorway, a four-panelled door with an overlight, and side windows. There are sash windows on either side, with a sash window without glazing bars in the center on the first floor. The right side return elevation has two bays and a central French window. The recessed four-bay wing to the right has closely spaced middle bays on the ground floor, but the left-hand middle bay on the first floor lacks a window. The left side elevation, facing the river, has two bays.

In front of the house, there is a low garden wall made of yellow brick with rock-faced coping, rendered below, and a blue brick plinth. The wall features rendered piers with large capstones, and while there is now boarded fencing in place of the original railings, some sections of the railings still survive.

Inside, the house has two staircases, one of which rises from the rear of the entrance hall, with rooms leading off either side. The interior retains six-panelled doors with surrounds. The drawing room on the right boasts an ornate plaster cornice, a semi-elliptical arch, and a fireplace with a cornice on consoles and panelled shutters. The porch has a flagged floor and a partially glazed inner door with coloured margins.
