The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
Much altered two and half storey/ two bay house, being the second from right in a terrace of four once-identical mid 19thC houses at W end of Havelock Place.
Pitched natural slate roof. Cement rendered chimney to left end. Front pitch has two canted wall head dormers with canted roofs and modern windows. Modern cement rendered walls with stepped quoins to either end.
Front door to ground floor right is modern with semicircular fanlight over, with raised stucco keystone above. Fanlight retains its original radial spider’s web leaded glazing bars. One window to its left and two windows to first floor. All windows are 1/1 sliding sashes and have modern rendered architraves.
Modern rendered dwarf wall with balustrade encloses small front area.
Left gable is party wall with adjacent house.
Rear elevation not inspected.
Right gable is party wall with adjacent house.
Historical information
A block of five houses is shown on the 1834 Valuation town map (unfortunately their dimensions cannot be determined from the corresponding Valuation book). The fact that the same block only contained four houses on the 1861 map suggests a complete rebuilt in the intervening period. The 1863 Valuation book describes the house as measuring 7.25yds x 9yds x 2.5 storeys (with a 1.75 storey return).
A later 19thC Lawrence photograph shows a cast iron skylight to front pitch. All windows are 8/8 sliding sashes. Walls look harled. Railings on front dwarf wall.
