59-63, Barrow Bridge Road

Nos. 59-63 on Barrow Bridge Road is a large house that was originally built around 1830 and once included a shop and six cottages. The building is constructed from squared and watershot coursed stone with slate roofs.

The exterior of No. 59 features a two-storey structure with a three-window range and a central entrance. The door has six fielded panels and a fanlight set in a moulded architrave. The flanking windows have been renewed, although they may have originally been multi-pane fixed lights. The upper windows have also been renewed; they were originally sash windows and are set in their original openings, complete with a continuous sill band. The eaves cornice has paired brackets and extends across the gable to form a pediment, supported by full-height angle pilasters. The building has gable chimneys.

Next to No. 59 is a lower two-storey terrace with a six-window range, consisting of four single-unit, double-pile planned houses, and one two-unit plan house. These houses also have renewed doors and windows in their original openings, featuring plain stone lintels and moulded brackets at the eaves. A Victorian pillar box is located in the front wall of No. 59.

The interior has not been inspected. This group of houses is part of the model village of Barrow Bridge, which was established around 1831 by Robert Gardner to support his new Dean Mills complex.
