1a and 3-37, Pyecroft Street

This is a terrace of 19 cottages located on Pyecroft Street, built around 1850. The cottages are constructed of Flemish bond brown brick and feature a grey slate roof that is hipped on the left side and over No. 1A. They are designed in a late Georgian style.

The terrace is two storeys high. No. 1A has one bay and a canted corner entrance, while the other cottages are double fronted. They have a painted stone plinth and timber doorcases with flat hoods that have a Classical design. The doorcase for No. 1A includes an overlight, and its timberwork has been renewed. The window openings have stone sills and slightly cambered rubbed-brick arches that are a redder color. There are ridge chimneys on the roofs.

The original doors are four-panel designs, and the windows are recessed sashes with 12 panes on the lower storey and 9 panes on the upper storey. Some cottages have replaced doors, such as Nos. 7, 9, 17, 27, and 37, which feature six raised panels that match the style. Nos. 1A, 3, 5, 19, 25, and 31 have modern part-glazed small-panel doors, while No. 33 has an inter-war part-glazed panelled door. Nos. 21 and 29 have flush doors or covered panels. Nos. 9, 27, and No. 33 on the lower storey have replaced small-pane wood hopper windows, and No. 19 has large-pane metal hoppers, which is included for group value only. The cottages originally had no rear-facing windows, but circular recesses in the gables of each rear wing and at the mid-point of the rear wall between the gables suggest there were once haylofts with pitching-eyes, now blocked. Bathrooms and windows were later added. In 1861, tradesmen lived in these cottages, likely using horses and carts, which explains the need for storage for hay and straw.

The interiors of the cottages have not been fully inspected. The adjoining cottages at Nos. 39-53 are not included in this listing.
