Description
Laurel Bank is a terrace of seven houses built in the late 19th century. The houses are constructed from squared coursed sandstone with ashlar dressings and feature a slate roof adorned with decorative ridge tiles and bracketed eaves. The design is balanced, with the end houses highlighted by steeply-pitched hipped roofs over their outer two bays, while the facade of the central house, No. 4, is gabled. The terrace is situated on a slope, rising from left to right, with each house slightly stepped up.
Each house consists of two storeys plus an attic and has three bays. The windows are sashes without glazing bars, although each house includes one fixed pane on the ground floor. Each house features a timber canted bay window set on a stone base, and all except Nos. 2 and 3 retain cast-iron crested railings on their hipped roofs. Above each bay window on the first floor, there are paired windows separated by a stone mullion, with their lintel soffits cut into a segmental arch. All houses except the end ones have a similar window in the central bay that lights the attic; all but the central house's window rise above eaves level into a gabled stone attic dormer. The outer houses each have two single attic windows rising into separate dormers.
Each house has a doorway in its left-hand bay, featuring a six-panelled door, an overlight, and a stone surround with a cornice hood supported by prominent brackets. Between the houses, there are chimneys with multi-flued caps.
