1-4, High Swinburne Place

A terrace of four houses dating to around 1820. The construction is English garden wall bond brick with an ashlar basement and dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof featuring stone gable copings. The terrace has a basement, three storeys, and attics, with three bays per house. The entrance to number 4 is located in the left return. Steps lead to the original six-panelled doors, each with a fanlight above; the glazing bars to numbers 1 and 3 remain. The doorcases feature open pediments supported on panelled pilasters. The doorcase to number 2 has been lost and the fanlight glazing bars have been replaced. Wedge stone lintels are above the sashed windows which retain glazing bars. Number 3 has French windows on the first floor opening onto a full-width cast iron balcony. A sill band is present on the ground floor, and a similar band extends to the first floor of numbers 1 and 4. The first floor of numbers 2 and 3 also has a sill band. Projecting stone sills are found on the top floor. A gutter cornice tops the building. Dormers are gabled on the left side of number 4 and segmental on numbers 3 and 1; the dormer to number 2 is paired and square-headed. Brick ridge chimneys rise from the roof. The left return features a six-panelled door flanked by moulded pilasters, beneath a wide fanlight with radial glazing, set within an elliptical brick arch. A tall stair window above has three sashed windows with glazing bars and a patterned round head. Two attic sashes have wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills. A narrow inserted door is located to the right.
