Description

This is a pair of houses located at 12 and 14 Park Road South, built around the 1840s. They are constructed from rock-faced squared stone and topped with a Welsh slate roof. The buildings are two stories tall with an attic, featuring a symmetrical design that includes storeyed entrance halls on the side elevations and two rooms across the main front.

The left-hand house has moulded arched doorways and a lean-to wood lattice-work porch. Both houses have 12-pane sash windows on each floor within plain side bays. There is an advanced gabled inner bay that includes a canted bay window with wood mullions and transoms on the ground floor, a 12-pane sash window above it, and a 6-pane sash window in the gable apex, which has been renewed in the left-hand house. The side and first-floor windows are set beneath hood moulds. The buildings feature wavy barge-boards on the front and side gables, and a corbel table at the cornice over the outer bays. The end walls and axial stacks are made of yellow brick and are truncated at the gables.
