Description
This is a pair of houses located at 8 and 10 Park Road South, built around 1840 to 1850. They are constructed from rock-faced squared stone and topped with a Welsh slate roof. The houses are two storeys high with an attic, featuring a symmetrical design that includes storeyed entrance halls on the side elevations and two rooms across the main front.
The front facade has a symmetrical arrangement of four windows, with 12-pane sash windows on both floors in plain side bays. There is an advanced gabled inner bay that includes a canted bay window with wooden 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 adorned with hood moulds. The houses feature wavy barge-boards on the front and side gables, and there is a corbel table at the cornice over the outer bays. The end walls and axial stacks are truncated at the gables.
