Alma House including Railed Forecourt

This is an early 19th century double-fronted house, originally built as a private residence. The front of the house is rendered and features lines incised to resemble ashlar stonework, topped with a slate roof and projecting brick end-stacks. The house is two storeys and has an attic, with a symmetrical facade. The windows are 19th-century hornless sashes with 12 panes on the first floor, set within flat skewback lintels featuring incised voussoirs and stone sills. The ground floor has a central doorway flanked by windows with segmental arched heads and ornate keyblocks.

The west elevation faces a churchyard; the gable end features a projecting stack with offsets and a brick flue, alongside small 2x2-pane casement windows in the attic. A rear wing is three storeys high, with painted rubble walls on the ground and first floors and a rendered second floor. The rear facade is irregular, featuring a 9-pane horned sash window on the ground floor, a segmental arched doorway with 20th-century half doors, a 16-pane hornless sash window on the first floor, and a 9-pane hornless sash window on the second floor. The interior rear wing includes a bracketed 20th-century bay window, a first-floor balcony accessible via French doors and a canopy roof, and a ground-floor French window, all overlooking a small flat-roofed extension.

A narrow railed forecourt lies at the front of the house, with urn finials to the stanchions and an iron gate.

The main house is a single depth, containing two rooms on each floor. The staircase opposite the entrance has a plank door with strap hinges, with a living room and parlour to the left and right, both featuring 19th-century panelled shutters at the windows. The attic staircase has winders, a shaped rail, and plain balusters. Plank doors with strap hinges lead to the attic rooms. The basement kitchen contains reused ceiling beams, including one with a deep chamfer and a scroll stop, and another with a hollow and roll moulding on one side. The rear wing incorporates a former wash-house, its roof a two-bay structure with a tie beam truss.
