The Laurels

The Laurels is an early 19th-century house that has a small attached wing and is now divided into two properties: The Laurels and No. 2 Drybridge Street. The main front is roughcast and designed to resemble stone, topped with a Welsh slate roof and red brick stacks. The building has three storeys and features three windows. It has a double fronted central entrance plan with a projecting rear wing. The entrance consists of a six-panel door that is partially glazed, framed by a wood architrave and a hood supported by brackets.

On the ground floor, the windows are 8 over 8 pane sashes. The first floor has a 6 over 6 pane sash above the door, flanked by an 8 over 8 pane sash on the left and a 2 over 2 pane sash on the right. The top floor features 4 over 8 pane sashes flanking a 3 over 6 pane sash. The roof is hipped with overhanging eaves, and there are stacks on either gable wall. The front is enclosed by spiked wrought iron railings and a gate. To the right, there is a small one-storey extension (No. 2), which has an early 20th-century door with a small hood and a steel casement window to the right, along with a plain roof.

The gable returns are blind, with the stacks visible. The rear elevation includes a projecting wing to the left (No. 2), featuring a canted oriel window on the first floor and a tripartite sash window with glazing bars above, capped with a hipped roof. To the right (The Laurels), there is an arched stair window, a 6 over 6 pane sash with a steel casement above it, and a small single-storey wing.

The Laurels comprises the major part of the house, including the front door and the two left-hand bays. The interior details were not available during the resurvey, but the main staircase is located in The Laurels.
