21-27, Chorley Old Road

A terrace of four houses located on Chorley Old Road, built in two phases around 1840-1850. The houses are constructed of red brick with stone dressings and have slate roofs. The terrace comprises a 4-window range and a 6-window range, with numbers 25 and 27 possibly belonging to the earlier phase of construction and connected to numbers 1-5 Myrtle Street. The 6-window range includes the return frontage of number 1 Myrtle Street. The windows are 12-pane sashes with painted stone flat arches and a continuous sill band, topped by a plain frieze to the first floor. The doorways have architraves with panelled pilasters and a frieze. Numbers 21 and 23 form a 4-window range, featuring 2-pane or renewed sash windows, and doorways with engaged columns recessed within round-headed archways. The ground floor windows of number 21 are a late 19th-century canted bay with painted stone and segmentally arched windows, while the corresponding bay at number 23 is a late 20th-century replacement. The interior has not been inspected.
