Description
The property comprises seven houses built in 1914 by J. Lomax Simpson, part of the Port Sunlight estate in Wirral. The building is constructed with roughcast on a brick base, with the first floor clad in tiles and the roof covered in tiles. It is two storeys high and features four bays, with the two central bays projecting forward beneath gables, and the end bays also canted forward. A brick band divides the ground and first floors in the central bays. The windows are small-paned casements. The centre of the building features half-octagonal two-storey bays with ground-floor entablatures and first-floor panelled aprons, and a tile canopy. The end bays have four-light canted bay windows on the ground floor and two-light windows above. The entrances are sheltered by flat canopies, with plank doors featuring leaded lights and flanking windows. The right return includes a projecting stack to the first bay, a gabled second bay, and a jettied first floor on posts to the third and fourth bays, with gabled first-floor windows. A recessed gabled bay is present in the fifth bay. Decorative strapwork is found on the second bay, and a basket brick band on the end bay. The left return is similar in design, but without the end bay. There are five cross-axial stacks. The rear elevation mirrors the design.
