Description
Nos. 138 and 138A on Chester Road are cottages built around 1910, likely by the architects Hamlyn and Wright of Warrington for Sir Gilbert Greenall. The buildings feature a lower storey made of red sandstone and an upper storey that is half-timbered, topped with a graded Westmorland green slate roof and two shaped chimneys on the ridge. There is a projecting plinth, and both the upper storey and gables are jettied, supported by heavy oak bargeboards.
The symmetrical front of No. 138 faces Chester Road and includes camber-arched windows on either side of the door, with a jettied upper storey resting on shaped stone corbels and an oriel window in the bedroom. The leaded glazing has been removed, and the half-glazed door has been altered. No. 138A faces the garden on the left side, featuring a door in the corner next to No. 140, a canted bay window with mullions, a five-light oriel window in the front bedroom, leaded glazing, and a framed and boarded half-glazed door with small panes.
