Description

Buxton House is a Georgian-fronted townhouse that is attached to buildings on either side. The exterior is roughcast rendered and painted, topped with an artificial slate roof behind a shallow parapet, and features a brick end stack. The house has two storeys and is double-fronted, displaying a two-window range of paired two-pane sashes with architraves on the first floor. The ground floor includes a hipped slate-roofed hood that extends over canted bays, which have 2-and 4-pane horned sashes on either side of a wide doorway. This doorway features a part-glazed six-panelled door with painted raised quoins. Wrought-iron railings and a gate with urn and spoon finials extend from either side of the house, set on a stone kerb, similar to those found at number 27.
