83 Welsh Row, Nantwich
Number 83 is one of many Georgian buildings on Welsh Row, which Nikolaus Pevsner calls "the best street of Nantwich". Townwell House, also listed at grade II*, stands on the opposite side at number 52.
Description
The town house is a plain building in red brick, with five bays and five storeys topped by a stone cornice. The central bay projects slightly and is capped by a pediment. The two windows of the central bay have a stone surround with scrolls; the other windows have stone sills.
The front entrance is reached by three stone steps to a small platform which has railings dating from the late 19th century. The doorcase features paired unfluted Roman Doric columns, and is topped by a fanlight and pediment.
One of the rooms on the interior contains 17th-century panelling, which was originally from another local house.
