Full Description

A two storey semi detached white painted brick Victorian villa linked to the adjoining property, no. 27, by single storey side extensions. The two buildings are dissimilar and not architecturally paired, and together formed the lodge, stables and estate gardeners' accommodation for Carrick Grange, since demolished. The entrance to no. 29 is to the side of the property with a similar porch to no. 27. However, the house is more utilitarian in character than no. 27. The windows to the side entrance elevation are four-centred arched but do not have the detailing that are a feature of no. 27. This suggests that no. 27 may have been the original lodge and no. 29 the stabling and gardeners' accommodation. The windows may be original, particularly the two oculus windows on the front elevation which feature quartered glazing bars and a small square pane in the centre of the window. The building has a shallow hipped roof. The street frontage has a ragstone wall with brick quoining. The driveway appears to feature granite or ironstone setts, which may be original. (1)
