46,47, Frenchwood Street

Nos. 46 and 47 Frenchwood Street are a pair of small town houses dating from around 1840, although they have been altered over time. They are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. Each house has a double-depth plan and is single-fronted, featuring coupled back extensions and a central through-lobby.

The buildings are two storeys high with cellars, presenting a symmetrical three-bay façade. They include a first-floor sill-band, a plain frieze, and a moulded gutter cornice. The doorways form a triplet in the centre, with the lobby door situated between them. Each doorway is accessed by two steps and features round-headed architraves with set-in Tuscan quarter columns, plain lintels, and semicircular fanlights with convex moulded surrounds. The fanlight at No. 47 retains its original radiating metal tracery, while No. 46 has a six-panel door, and the door to No. 47 is now covered with hardboard.

At the ground floor, each house has one window, but No. 46 has two windows on the first floor, with the second window located above the lobby in the centre. No. 47 has only one first-floor window. All windows have raised sills and wedge lintels; those at No. 47 are four-pane sashes, while No. 46 has altered glazing. The cellar windows also feature wedge lintels, with the window at No. 46 unglazed and that at No. 47 protected by a grating. Both houses have gable chimneys. The rear and interior of the houses have not been inspected. This pair is part of a formerly complete set of late Georgian lower-middle class town houses on this street.
