Description

Late C19 brick building with cluster of four chimney stacks arranged in diamond formation. Late C19 brick building positioned close to the front of its plot. The building is orientated gable onto the street and is one and a half storeys. The building sits beneath a steeply pitched gable roof laid in plain clay tiles. A cluster of four chimney stacks arranged in diamond formation and constructed of buff coloured bricks are positioned on the mid point of the ridgeline. These form a distinctive and eye-catching element to the skyline when looking in both directions along the eastern end of Lower Street. Walls are constructed of buff coloured brick with red/orange brick used to articulate fenestration openings. Regular fenestration pattern to visible elevations. Two gable dormers break through the eaves line of the principle elevation. Central entrance is not contained within a enclosed lean-to modern porch. Despite loss of original windows and later additions, this building maintains much of its original, form, character and significance. It is prominently positioned and its, form, architectural detailing and use of contrasting coloured materials make it a visually attractive and eye catching building which makes a positive contribution to the street scene. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (1).
