The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
Much altered two and half storey/ two bay house at the right-hand end of a terrace of four once identical mid 19thC houses at W end of Havelock Place.
Pitched artificial slate roof with cement skew to right end. Cement rendered chimney to each end. Front pitch has two gabled wall head dormers with fretted bargeboards. Modern cement rendered walls without stepped quoins (unlike other three in terrace).
Front door to ground floor right is modern with semicircular fanlight over. This fanlight retains its original radial spider’s web leaded glazing bars. Assorted window types. That to ground floor left is a 2/2 (horizontally divided) sliding sash. Two to first floor- left one is a 1/1 top hung casement and other is a sliding sash. All have modern rendered architraves. Dormer windows are modern.
Modern raised and rendered dwarf wall encloses small front area.
Left gable is party wall with adjacent house.
Rear elevation not inspected.
Right gable is party wall with slightly lower adjacent house (HB16/11/013E); the exposed section of gable is blank.
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 1.5 storey return).
A late 19thC Lawrence photograph shows a cast iron skylight to front pitch. All windows are 8/8 sliding. Walls look harled. Railings on front dwarf wall.
