Description
This is a row of seven town houses and an adjoining former coach house, built after 1850. They form a continuous row and are now mostly offices. The houses are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with some rear walls of rubble, stone dressings, and slate roofs. Chimneys are located in front of and behind the ridge. The houses are double pile, with rear extensions.
They are two storeys high and feature moulded stone gutter cornices, except for numbers 18 and 20, which have bracketed cornices. The front doors have moulded stone doorcases with straight cornices on scrolled brackets, along with smaller, plain-cased lobby doors leading to yards. Each house has one ground floor window, some with large rectangular moulded architraves, although number 20 has been altered and number 18 has sash windows. Above, there are sashed windows, with numbers 16, 20, 22, and 26 having three windows each, the others having two. Number 20 has top-hung casements. All windows have stone sills and splayed stone heads.
The return wall of the old coach house has two segmental headed wagon doors, now converted into windows. Together with numbers 7 to 27 opposite, the row creates a symmetrical view towards the Church of St. George.
