Description
This is an "L"-shaped terrace of houses and flats constructed between 1974 and 1976 by Ralph Erskine's Arkitektkontor, with Vernon Gracie as site architect, White, Young and Partners as structural engineers, and Shepherd Construction Limited as the main contractor. The buildings are located at the corner of the Grace Lee development, and represent a significant element of that overall scheme. The construction materials include pale brick, brown weatherboarding, and timber framing, with yellow and red painted eaves. The roofs are of blue metal with plywood box beams and purlins.
The terrace is two storeys high, with a weatherboarded attic storey to the corner section overlooking Headlam Street and Spires Lane, and a projecting single-storey community room at the corner of Headlam Street and Spires Lane. A carriage arch is situated under numbers 21-22 Spires Lane. Numbers 7-17 Headlam Street and 21-22 Spires Lane are designed as flats. Distinctive yellow weatherboarded eaves are present on the Headlam Street frontage, with red vertical struts between the first-floor windows. Numbers 4, 5, and 6 Grace Street are faced with brown weatherboarding and include plastic door hoods, with blue doors and windows to the rear. Porches with metal roofs are projecting from numbers 7-19 and are brown weatherboarded. The community room is clad in green weatherboarding and features a steep-pitched roof with a broad timber entrance porch to the rear. Nos. 18-20 Spires Lane have projecting porches with green weatherboarded fronts under blue metal roofs. Windows are predominantly brown timber with timber subframes and aluminium opening lights, with red and blue doors featuring glazed panels, some of which have been renewed in hardwood. Attached brick garages are located to the rear of numbers 18-21 Spires Lane, and short spur fences are situated between the houses and pairs of flats.
