Full Report for Listed Buildings
The list description is not intended to be a complete inventory of what is listed: it is principally intended to aid identification. By law, the definition of a listed building includes the entire building (i) and any structure or object that is fixed to the said building and ancillary to it and (ii) any other structure or object that forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948, and was within the curtilage of the building, and ancillary to it, on the date on which said building was first included in the list, or on 1 January 1969, whichever was later.

Name of Property
The Pheasant PH
Location
Part of a terrace immediately above the Town Hall.
History
Built as part of a longer terrace with Nos 41-42 and No 44; the earliest reference to the building comes in 1760, but title deeds of Nos 41-42 refer to newly built property in 1747 - as the buildings appear to represent a single development, it is likely that this is also c1740, though with extensive later alteration.
Exterior
Brick, but rendered and with fake timber cladding to main elevation. Slate roof, with single stack on left hand gable, shared with No 42. 2 storeys with attic, 2-window range. Round-arched passage entry to left, matched by round-arched door to right; this has reeded panels to door, lozenge overlight and reeded outer architrave with console brackets. Inserted small-paned window in centre. 2x12-pane sash windows to first floor. Modillion eaves cornice; Hipped gabled dormers within the roof, with 6-pane sash windows.
Reason for designation
Severely altered, but listed as part of a group of C18 town houses.
