Listed building or place reference: HE0217 Historic site reference Property 7 Road name Francis Street Parish St. Helier LocationView on map Grade Listed Building Grade 3 Category Residential (town house) Statement of significance The house retains much of its 1813-1825 form and fabric - with later 19th century additions to the exterior façade. It provides an important historic element to the street and has notable townscape value with the adjacent 19th century town pump. Context n/a External Description The building frontage is a traditional 5-bay, 2-storey with attic, constructed of rubble granite. The façade has a later 19th century render finish scored in imitation ashlar and voussoir, with applied cement ornament to the window sills and a cement cornice on console brackets above the doorway - as was fashionable at that time. The windows are original early 19th century 12-pane timber sashes without 'horns'. The front door, with its glazed upper panels, appears to be a later Victorian replacement. There is a pitched pantiled roof with small cambered dormers. To the roadside is a small front garden enclosed by a cement rendered wall with butterfly pattern iron railings and gate - likely added in the later 19th century. Set back within this front garden - and separate to the ownership and listing of this property - is a water pump 'the town pump' which is inscribed 1836. The rear elevation of the house has a traditional pierre-perdu finish showing the granite construction of the house. There is a central catslide dormer and the majority of original 12-pane sash windows - although a 16-pane sash has been lost on the ground floor. A small rear outbuilding and garden survives. The house retains its original rectangular double-pile plan - two rooms deep with a central corridor. The majority of rooms throughout the house retain an original timber fireplace of simple design, with flanking integral cupboards (with a variation of doors), and plain shallow skirting. The interior of the windows have a moulded architrave with plain lining and window back. There are 6-panel doors at ground and first floors and 4-panel doors of matching joinery details to the attic. The staircase is at the centre rear of the house, and is of a design that seems to hark back to an earlier tradition and style. It has a square plan with half-landings and a continuous central newel post. There are panelled strings (with moulding pattern matching the doors) and moderately robust turned balusters. The newel posts at ground and first floor appear to be later replacements.
