Description
End-of-terrace two-bay four-storey over basement brick townhouse, built c. 1830, with a front railed basement area, extensively renovated c. 2003 and converted to flats. Pitched natural slate roof hidden behind a parapet wall with covered coping and cement coping to west gable. Red brick chimneystack to west gable and rendered stack to east party wall. Red brick walls laid in Flemish bond with cement pointing on a cut limestone plinth course. Painted rendered walls to basement and rear. Gauged brick flat-arched window openings with heavy rendered reveals, cut limestone sills and replacement timber sash windows c. 2003 throughout. Modern steel balconies to first floor, c. 2003. Gauged brick round-arched door opening inset doorcase comprising: three-quarters engaged Ionic columns with swag motif, supporting a fluted frieze with rosettes, and flanking an original timber-panelled door with brass furniture; with lead enriched webbed fanlight above. Opening onto limestone stepped threshold in a limestone flagged platform and four steps with cast-iron bootscraper. Flanked by modern replica spear-headed steel railings c. 2003 on limestone plinth bridging the basement area, return enclosing the basement. Timber planked door, c. 2003, opens onto cement basement area shared with No. 23. Interior appears to have retained its staircase, some joinery and plasterwork.
Appraisal
Built as a terrace of three, and renovated together, c. 2003. The retention of the original door and doorcase along, with the re-instatement of timber sash windows, ensures that this terrace remains an important component within this historic streetscape.
