759, 759A and 761-773, Chorley Old Road

This is a row of houses with piecemeal development occurring between approximately 1730 and 1860. Number 765 bears a 20th-century plaque indicating it was built in 1785. The buildings are constructed of stone with stone flagged roofs, slate roofs, and concrete tiled roofs.

Numbers 759 and 759A, along with numbers 761 and 763, form a single terrace built around 1860. They are two storeys high with a four-window range. Numbers 759 and 759A incorporate a shop with an entrance across the angle of the row, and a contemporary shop window within a moulded architrave. Upper windows have been renewed but remain within the original openings. Numbers 761 and 763 are painted over stone and have stone flagged roofs. Each of these is a single unit, double pile plan. Round arched doorways feature keystones and imposts, and all windows are renewed with wedge lintels. Two chimneys project through the front roof slope.

Number 765, which dates to 1785, was originally built as a tollhouse. It is constructed of stone with a concrete tiled roof. It has a canted angle with steps leading up to an entrance, and early 20th-century recessed oriel windows with small upper panes facing the street. A Civic Trust plaque above the doorway records its history as a tollhouse for the Doffcocker Turnpike Trust. A gable chimney is located to the right.

Numbers 767 and 769 may represent the earliest buildings in the row, likely dating from the early 18th century. They are constructed of roughly coursed and squared stone in small blocks with a slate roof. They are two storeys high with a two-window range. Number 767 follows a two-unit plan with a central door, while number 769 is a single unit plan with an entrance to the left. Inserted windows are present in number 767, including a canted oriel window to the right of the doorway, which was likely added in the 19th century. Number 769 retains a sixteen-pane sash window. The upper windows are renewed horizontally sliding sashes, each with three lights. A brick chimney is situated at the junction with number 771 to the right.

Numbers 771 and 773 were probably built in the late 18th century and are stone built with a stone flagged roof. These are two storeys high with a two-window range, consisting of two single unit, double pile plans, with doorways to the right. Windows in number 771 have been renewed, while the openings themselves may have been inserted during the 19th century. Number 773 retains sixteen- and two-pane sash windows. A gable chimney is to the left, and a ridge chimney is located centrally.
