GV II
Large house. c1835 altered C20. Ashlar and stucco, slate roof. Heavy modillion cornice and blocking course. 2 storeys, 3 bays, centre projects slightly, in rusticated stucco, with parapet and cornice. Centre 1st-floor 3-light window with pilasters and pediment, other 1st-floor windows in moulded architraves. 2 ground-floor semicircular bays with entablatures and curved sashes, central doorway with attached columns supporting pediment, semicircular fanlight, glazing bars replaced with plate glass throughout. INTERIOR: not inspected. One of the row of 3 houses built in New Leeds, land sold by Earl Cowper for villas outside the town centre. The speculation was unsuccessful and only a small number of plots was built on by 1847; the failure of the venture contributed to Sir Walter Scott's insolvency.
