15-27, CENTRAL ROAD

A row of seven houses located at 15-27 Central Road, Port Sunlight, built in 1907 by Garnett, Wright and Barnish. The houses are constructed of brick with pebbledash detailing and tile roofs. Each house is one storey high with an attic, and they are arranged in nine bays, with projecting two-bay sections at each end that are covered by half-hipped roofs. A decorative band runs above the ground floor, while the first floor is pebbledashed. Windows are mostly leaded casements. The ground floor windows are double-chamfered-mullioned, with brick mullions and label moulds; the central bay features a five-light window, while the first, eighth, and ninth bays have five-light canted bay windows with hipped roofs. The third bay has a four-light half-canted window. The third bay of the first floor is jettied and clad in weatherboard. Shaped gables are present above the half-dormers of the second and third bays, each containing a three-light casement. The end bays have gabled half-dormers with three-light mullioned windows. The entrances have decorated lintels, and the plank doors feature small-paned lights. The inner return to the left pavilion includes a lateral stack with flues and a half-canted bay window, while the other returns features a hipped dormer. Six cross-axial stacks are topped with corbelled caps. The rear elevation echoes the front, with gables.
