In red brick with lighter red brick to the top storey and to the dressings of the 2 lower storeys. Plaintiled roof, in 2 parallel ranges with a valley gutter between, has slate to the slope of the hips on the south side, a cement-rendered parapet, and stone modillion cornice. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and basement. 5 window range: 12-pane sashes to the 1st and 2nd storeys and 9-pane to the top storey, all in flush cased frames. The 4 basement windows, which are set within the plinth, are segmental-headed, 2 with 9 panes, 2 with 6. The wide central doorway is approached up a flight of stone steps with cast-iron wreathed handrails; similar railings are carried round the basement area. The central doorcase has 3 columns with enriched capitals, stilted friezes and an open pediment and now contains two 4-panelled Edwardian entrance doors. Deeds of the house indicate that the house was divided into two c1900 and the doorcase has evidence of careful alteration. The rear frontage has a wooden modillion cornice and a 5-window range: 12-pane sashes to the ground and 1st storeys and 6-pane to the top storey, all in flush cased frames. It formerly had a central doorway with a plain surround and bracketed open pediment, but this is now obscured by a single-storey extension of the early 1970s, and may have been removed completely. INTERIOR: of No.45A has evidence of alteration to the layout, both in the early C19 and when the property was divided into 2. Part of a plain early C19 stair remains; on the half landing and 1st storey there is a blocked timber arch in Classical style and a plaster cornice and frieze in which metopes alternate with Greek urns.
