Architectural details

[edit]

The building is an attached house dated 1703, according to the owner,[2] constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with a left-hand brick party-wall stack and a right-hand tiled valley roof.[2] It has a two-room right-angle plan and rises to two storeys with a basement and attic, arranged in a two-window range.[2] The exterior features a full-width timber fascia with narrow triglyphs extending across a canted three-light bay window fitted with 8-over-8-pane sashes flanked by 4-over-4-pane sashes.[2]

The right-hand doorway has an architrave and steps leading to a late 20th-century door with a narrow overlight, while other openings include horned 2-over-2-pane sash windows set in flush frames, beneath bracketed eaves; a mid-20th-century dormer is also present.[2] Internally, the ground floor retains fully panelled rooms with cupboards flanking eared fireplace surrounds, cyma cornices, and moulded axial beams, while a rear right-hand staircase incorporates column-on-vase balusters, an uncut string, column newels, and a moulded handrail.[2] An 18th-century bay window survives and is considered an early example of its type.[2]
