Description
A row of thirteen houses built in the 1830s by Sir Charles Monck, forming part of a planned village street. The houses are constructed of ashlar stone with Welsh slate roofs. They are two storeys high, with an arcaded ground floor featuring alternating narrow and wide arches, employing both round-headed and elliptical forms.
Nos. 5 to 8 have 20th-century doors and windows at ground floor level, though the upper floors largely retain original Yorkshire sash windows. Nos. 9 and 10 feature panelled doors set within raised surrounds, above which are three large windows with small panes, also original. The first floor of these houses has Yorkshire sash windows. At Nos. 11 and 12, the arcading has been blocked in to accommodate later shop fronts (The Post Office and Nicholson’s shop). No. 13 has a panelled door and a large, segment-headed window at ground floor level, with Yorkshire sash windows above.
The roofs are double-span with a shallow pitch, incorporating stone eaves and banded stacks in a central valley.
