GV II

Villa, now Burnley Borough Council hostel. Mid C19, in 2 or 3 builds. Sandstone ashlar (side and rear of coursed squared stone), hipped slate roof. Elongated plan at right-angles to the road, in 3 parts: a double-depth double-fronted block next to the road, an added crosswing to the left, and a set-back service wing attached to the left of this. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. The principal element (including the crosswing) is 1:3 windows, with rusticated quoins, 1st-floor sillband and moulded gutter cornice (with acroteria to the wing). The main range is symmetrical, with an Ionic porch which has enriched capitals including lion masks between the volutes, and an entablature with moulded cornice and plain blocking course, protecting a door with round-headed panels and a plain overlight; and windows with plain reveals, those at ground floor with altered glazing and those above unhorned sashes without glazing bars. The 3-window right-hand return wall has a corniced doorway to the rear, an iron fire escape to a doorway at 1st floor (altered from a window), 2 unhorned sashed windows at ground floor with vertical glazing bars, and 2 unhorned sashes without glazing bars at 1st floor. The wing to the left, projecting slightly, has steps up to a Venetian-style French window at ground floor, with a pilastered architrave including a cornice with urns and a radiant tympanum with a keystone, and at 1st floor a tripartite sashed window with shouldered architrave. Side-wall chimney to the right, and another chimney at the junction with the wing. The 4-window service wing has raised quoins and openings with plain surrounds. The rear wall of the main range abuts the end gable-end of No.87, but has a 3-light stair window above the junction with this. INTERIOR: fine open-well staircase in rear of wing, with elaborate cast-iron balusters and coved moulded plaster ceiling. Forms a group with No.75 (qv).
