72-74 Bewsey Street

72-74 Bewsey Street are early 19th-century three-storey terrace houses with basements. They are constructed from fair-faced orange clamp brick, featuring a painted ashlar string course, lintels, and cills, topped with a roof clad in Welsh slate.

The buildings have a rectangular plan with extended two-storey rear ranges that project slightly. The front elevations of both houses are identical, each having two bays and a basement. There is a straight join at the junction of No.72 and 74, but the elevations are not keyed together. The basement windows have been bricked up. Each ground floor has an off-set front doorway beneath a large glazed fanlight set within a round arch made of rubbed brick. The four-panel timber front door is framed by a recessed timber door frame with fluted panelled pilasters, and is flanked by a single twelve-light timber sash window with a painted ashlar cill and canted lintels. A painted continuous projecting ashlar string course runs across the elevation at first-floor level, serving as a cill for a pair of twelve-light sash windows with plain painted ashlar canted lintels. The second floor features a pair of six-light sash windows with painted ashlar cills and canted lintels. The roof has a central ridge, is clad in Welsh slates, and includes cast-iron rainwater goods mounted above timber fascia boards. There are wide brick-built chimney stacks positioned above the party walls of both houses and above No.74 and No.1 Froghall Lane.

The rear elevations were originally identical, featuring single twelve-light sash windows on the ground and first floors, and a pair of windows on the second floor. Both houses now have off-set, rectangular-plan, two-storey, two-bay rear ranges with mono-pitch Welsh slate roofs that cover about two-thirds of the width of the rear elevation of each house. The interior has not been inspected.
