Abstract: |
The project was as carried out prior to the building's demolition and in response to a planning condition (10) on (P/2014/01011). Balance House was first built during the early18th century as a large 2½ storey town house, on one of Uttoxeter's principal Georgian thoroughfares. The development of this area of Uttoxeter, particularly along Balance Street, during the mid to later 18th century is shown by the numbers of listed late Georgian houses which still remain to this day and it is during this period that the house was remodelled. The use of a Palladian style classical surround to the main entrance, quoining and a canted window bay are features synonymous with late Georgian and Regency period architecture, while the footprint of the building, laid out over three principal spaces around a formal reception hall, also adopts a typical Georgian plan. It was later used as a club house for the Leighton Ironworks and most recently as a care home. |
