41-44, Chaddock Street

This is a row of four small townhouses, originally built around 1840. Numbers 41 to 43 have recently been restored by a housing association, while number 44 has been rebuilt. The houses are constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, except for number 44 which uses common brick in a stretcher bond. They have sandstone dressings and a slate roof. Each house has a double-depth layout, a single-fronted facade, rear extensions, and a through-lobby at the centre of each pair. The houses are two storeys high, with cellars beneath, and feature an eight-window front. There is a first-floor sill band, a plain frieze, and a moulded gutter cornice.

The doorways at the left and right ends of each pair are raised one or three steps, with steps having nosings (except at number 43). They have round-headed architraves with set-in Tuscan quarter-columns, plain lintels, semicircular fanlights with convex moulded surrounds, and restored six-panel doors. The lobby doorways, located centrally in each pair, have wedge lintels and board doors. Each house has one window at ground floor level and two above. These are restored sash windows without glazing bars, featuring raised sills and wedge lintels, and the original cellar wells have been blocked. Large, linear, multiple-flue chimney stacks are positioned at the centre of each pair.

The interior of number 43 has been modernised, aside from the staircase, while numbers 41 and 42 have not been inspected internally. The row forms part of a virtually complete grouping of late Georgian houses built for the lower-middle class, contributing to the historic character of Chaddock Street.
