1-5, South Terrace

A terrace of five houses dating from the mid-19th century, originally built for the London Lead Company in Egleston. The houses are constructed from coursed sandstone rubble, with sandstone quoins and ashlar dressings, and have roofs of graduated stone flags with stone gable copings. They are two storeys high and five bays wide. The front features flat stone lintels over renewed doors at the right of the second and third bays, the latter with a 20th-century porch. A boarded door with an original stone-bracketed gabled hood is found at No. 4, located towards the right of the fourth bay. The original sash windows, with glazing bars, have flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills, although many windows have been renewed with 20th-century glazing within the original openings. Early 20th-century five-sided bay windows have been inserted in the first bay, sheltered by a curved pent roof, and in the third bay, under a hipped pent roof. There are six corniced ridge chimneys; those to the left of each house have panelled, tapered square yellow pots, while the chimney at the right end has no pots and was erected for aesthetic reasons. The terrace is included on the list for its group value with nearby buildings. Later 20th-century two-storey additions, set back from the front, are not considered to be of architectural interest.
