Full Description
Part of a small crescent with its own road, separate, though adjoining, High Street. There is a small communal and walled grassed area set above the road level in front of the crescent. Group value 2-12 and all part of the same listing.
Forms part of an early C19 crescent, all in stuccoed brick with 3 storeys and basement. The whole build is slightly recessed from its southern neighbour though is flush with its northern. The ground floor is raised slightly from the street level and the door is located on the northern side of the façade and is accessed via a set of two small steps, with a semi circular fan light above the transom over the door. There is a single window at the ground floor level, on the southern side of this door, and a further two windows, one per floor at the first and second floor levels. These are both located centrally within the façade and align across both floors. There is a string course at the base of the first floor window which stretches across the whole of the crescent and forms a continuous sill to all of the first floor windows. The rendered façade is painted cream, though the lower 1/3rd of the ground floor, as well as the door surround, window sills and string course are all painted black. There is a parapet over the second floor with stone coping. Some wiring is attached to the façade at various locations, possibly associated with an unseen aerial. Overall the building appears to be structurally sound and in a good condition.
The door, which is raised up slightly from the street level and located on the northern side of the façade, is a later replacement in timber painted white and mostly glazed with 16 rectangular panes divided by timber glazing bars. There is a semi-circular fanlight above the transom over the door, this is likely a later replacement and consists of a single pane with a timber frame. There is a single window per floor at the ground, first and second floor levels. The ground floor window is a later replacement and consists of two panes, the upper of which is a small rectangular awning and the lower is fixed. The first and second floor windows are original timber sashes divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. The first floor window is slightly taller then the ground and second floor windows being five high by four wide while the second floor is four high. All timber frames are painted white and are in a good condition. (1)
