Number 83 is one of many Georgian buildings on Welsh Row, which Nikolaus Pevsner calls "the best street of Nantwich".[2] Townwell House, also listed at grade II*, stands on the opposite side at number 52.[3]

Description
Pediment

The town house is a plain building in red brick, with five bays and five storeys topped by a stone cornice.[1][2] 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.[1]

Entrance

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.[1]

One of the rooms on the interior contains 17th-century panelling, which was originally from another local house.[1]
