Full Description

A mid 18th century house on two storeys with attics. Built in ashlar with a slate roof, it has two dormer windows with casements. At first floor level there are three windows in moulded stone frames. The ground floor has one large and one small window, together with a door, all with triple keystones and rusticated lintels. There is also a foot scraper. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1} This house incorporates an earlier, perhaps 17th century, timber framed building which was encased in stone in the first half of the 18th century. At the same time a two storey kitchen wing was added to the rear. The interior was refurbished in the early 19th century. The house was acquired by John Dixon, a carpenter, in 1750 and its present form may date to some time between then and his death in 1782. {2}{3} An inspection of the building, concentrating primarily upon the rear range, was conducted in October 2001 to inform proposed alterations. Although the facade of the building is mid to late 18th century it was noted that the internal layout was unusual and that the rear elevation incorporates a small amount of timber-framing beneath a turret roof at attic level. From this it may be surmised that the core of the house survives from an older building, altered and updated in the mid to late 18th century. Behind the street frontage range there is another stone range of similar two and a half storeys, which is set at right angles, with a narrow passage between the range and the boundary wall of 3 All Saints' Place. Extending from the rear of this is the single storey range investigated by the survey. The latter is mainly built in squared stone rubble, surmounted by four courses of brick, carrying a Welsh slate roof. The range is probably 19th century and appears to have replaced an earlier structure with a narrower footprint and taller roofline, as evidenced by traces on the wall of the main house. Originally, the range is believed to have contained a scullery and washhouse, but the dividing wall was removed at some time in the 20th century and replaced with a timber partition to create the existing kitchen and utility area. {4}
