Description
Nos 30-40 (even) on Chirton Wynd in Newcastle upon Tyne is a terrace of four houses and a pair of houses, built between 1976 and 1978 by Ralph Erskine's Arkitektkontor, with Vernon Gracie as the site architect and structural engineering by White, Young and Partners. The main contractor was Shepherd Construction Limited. The houses are constructed from pale modular metric brick on a timber frame, featuring weatherboarding and blue metal monopitch roofs supported by plywood box beam purlins.
Nos. 30-36 are two storeys high, while Nos. 38 and 40 rise to three storeys. The lower houses (30-36) are elevated above the pedestrian street, Chirton Wynd, and are set behind an orange metric modular brick wall. Each end of the terrace has bird boxes. The eaves are bright green, with brown weatherboarding between the first-floor strip windows and soft green on the rest of the structure. Nos. 32 and 34 have yellow metal door hoods, while No. 36 features a green hood on its side. The rear of No. 30 has brown weatherboarding, with green weatherboarding at the eaves of Nos. 34 and 36.
Nos. 38 and 40 have weatherboarding on the front over the first floor, with some brown weatherboarding between larger first-floor strip windows that serve living rooms. The rear of No. 38 has brown weatherboarding on the second floor. Bird boxes are present at each end, and No. 40 includes a projecting single-storey outshut under a sloping roof. Green metal hoods cover the doors, and all windows are timber in timber subframes, featuring aluminium opening lights, mainly sliding. The ground floor window of No. 30 has been renewed, and there are hardwood doors.
The original stone walls from previous housing on the site form the front wall of No. 40, while an orange brick retaining wall is located at the rear. The rear of Nos. 30-36 is bordered by orange walls and brown fences. This terrace is a notable feature along the main route through the Chirton area, leading to and from Headlam Green.
