Historic Environment Record entry

Listed building

This well-proportioned three-bay 1820s house, built as one of a pair, still retains many historic features and lends a great deal to its twin (No 12) and its street context.

A building is shown on this site on the 1834 Le Gros map.

Mid-terrace, three-storey, three-bay. Front elevation: slate roof with a long box dormer. There are two brick chimney stacks, complete with square pots. Painted render finish with (now faint) ashlar effect. The centrally placed main entrance has a simple doorcase with inset bootscraper; timber four-panel door with a glazed overlight beneath a console-bracket. There is a slight batter on the front wall. Windows are mid to late 19th century, six pane margin sashes, without horns. The windows of the second floor are shorter than their lower counterparts. There is a pair of late 19th century timber shutters, with blind panels, at street level.
