Description

BRIGHOUSE WAKEFIELD ROAD, LIGHTCLIFFE
SE 12 NW (south side)

1/195 No. 100

G. V. II

House formerly vicarage to St. Matthews Church, c.1900. Extensive Vernacular
Revival building of high quality. Hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings
and stone slate roof. 2 storeys. Plinth and copings. The main facade is
treated as a symmetrical composition with two gables, but an effort is made to
provide picturesque incident. 2-storey bay windows with splayed corners flank a
slightly recessed central bay where the off centre door is sheltered by a wide
moulded Tudor arch. Above this stands a 12-light stair window with mullions and
transoms slightly chamfered. The bay windows have transoms only to the ground
floor, and are of 10 lights below and 5 above. Return wall has semi-octagonal
ingle-nook around external stack. Two more stacks stand on the ridge. The
rear, which has a hipped roof, is plainer but has a tall window to right and a
semi-circular moulded entrance arch.
