Description
County Terrace is a terrace of eight dwellings built around 1850 as staff houses for the gaol, which was located on Toft Road. The terrace also incorporates No. 2 Bexton Road. The houses are constructed of brick, with roughcast rendering, and have Welsh slate roofs. They are arranged over two storeys and feature a thirteen-window range, with a projecting central block. The ground floor has alternate doorways and windows, and the houses have single-unit, double-pile plans. The eastern return is planned with a central doorway flanked by rooms on either side. Doorways have simple radial fanlights, and the lower windows are round-arched sashes with radial glazing. Upper windows are nine-pane sashes set within flat-arched gauged brick heads, with continuous sill bands. Stone quoins are present, and axial stacks rise from the roofs. No. 2 Bexton Road forms the western return, presenting a five-window range with two windows blind, and contains a gabled porch with a doorway towards the left. The interior has not been inspected.
