Description

324 and 326 New Chester Road are a pair of houses designed by Grayson and Ould. They feature a plaster exterior on a brick base, with tile-hanging that includes fishscale bands. The buildings are one storey with an attic and consist of five bays, with the end bays having gabled roofs. The fifth bay has a first-floor section that juts out on posts. There is a canopy over the ground floor.

The first-floor end bays are tile-hung, with a timbered apex on the first bay and a plaster apex on the fifth bay. The windows are small-paned casements. The ground floor includes a five-light bow window in the first bay, a four-light canted oriel in the third bay, and a three-light window in the fifth bay. The first floor has half-hipped half-dormers with two-light windows, and each bay features three-light windows.

The recessed entrance has a tile canopy that extends from the ground floor canopy, and it includes a plank door with a light. The right return has a similar entrance. There is a central cross-axial stack, along with return lateral stacks that have diagonal shafts. The returns and rear of the houses have gabled half-dormers and privies.
