Historic Environment Record entry

Listed building

Early 19th century house, with a very good coupled pair of open pedimented doorcases, fluted pilasters incorporating rare scallop shell and ball ornaments. Part of a row of seven similar houses which are shown as partially completed on Jersey magazine map of 1810 - shown as completed on 1834 Le Gros map.

Two-storey, three-bay. Pitched slate roof, two small dormers. Front elevation: render in ashlar effect, timber all replaced in sensitive manner. Doorway to west, timber door, four-panel, upper two glazed, side light, tripartite overlight; timber doorcase, one of a joined pair with No 15, fluted squared pilasters, projecting hood: open pediment overhanging triplets of brackets flanked by balls, also at tops of pilasters supporting hood; lacks unusual delicate carved shell motifs below seen on original hood surviving at No 15. Timber sashes, two-pane, no horns. Rear elevation: Slate roof with large box dormer. Painted plain render finish.

The only original early 19th century interior feature visible is the staircase. The wide painted doglegged staircase has a round handrail, turned balusters, and bat-shaped newel posts circa 1850 at first floor level only. This has been grafted on to the circa 1820s original staircase with flat topped handrail, stick balusters, and both bat and baton turned newels posts.
