4 And 6, Derby Place

A pair of town houses dating from the 1850s, located on Derby Place in Chester. They are constructed of Flemish bond brown brick with a grey slate roof, the roof being hipped to the left and gabled to the right. The houses are two storeys and double-fronted, with a plinth and stone steps leading to the front doors. The doors are of two flush panels over two fielded panels, each with an overlight of three panes (No.4) or one pane (No.6). Each door has a doorcase featuring plinthed, parallel-sided pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice hood. The windows are recessed 12-pane sashes with painted stone sills and wedge lintels; one window is located to either side of each door, and three windows are present on the first floor of each house. There is an eaves cornice, a central ridge chimney, and two flush chimneys on each side. The interiors and rears of the buildings were not inspected.
