Full Description
Small double fronted, cottage style domestic building located on a quiet side street off the busier High Street. The door is located just off centre and there is a window on either side of it at the ground floor level. The gap between the north eastern window and the door is smaller than that between the south western window and the door. Both the door and the south western of the two windows have segmental brick arches over. The brickwork on the north eastern side of the building is different (possibly new) suggesting that this side of the building is a later addition and that this building was originally much smaller. There are two first floor windows, these both align with the windows on the ground floor and all windows have small protruding stone sills. A modern gutter down pipe runs from a gutter at the eaves level down to the pavement level. Several modern features are attached to the façade, including a satellite dish, vents, a light and metal bracket for a hanging basket. There is some slight staining to the brickwork near the pavement level but otherwise the building is in a good condition and appears to be structurally sound.
There are four windows located across the façade, two at the first floor level and two at the ground floor level and a door. All are later replacements but are in an in-keeping style with the age of the building. The door is in timber painted blue and has six panels. The windows are all timber framed sashes divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. The ground floor windows are both divided into 16 panes (four wide by four high) while the first floor windows are divided into 12 panes (three wide but four high). The frames are painted cream. All windows and the door are in a good condition.
The roof structure was not clearly seen from this narrow street, but it is gabled with the gable ends over the north eastern and south western party walls. (1)
