30-38, PRIMROSE HILL

This is a terrace of five houses located on Primrose Hill in Port Sunlight, built in 1899 by J. Simpson. The houses are constructed of brick with stone dressings, with the first floors finished in roughcast plaster, and have a tile roof with a gambrel shape to the first and fourth bays. The buildings are two storeys high and five bays wide. The fifth bay features a jettied, gabled first floor. Deep eaves are found on the first and fourth bays. The windows are small-paned casements, most with four lights. The ground floor incorporates canted bay windows; the flat roofs of the bay windows at the second and third bays extend over paired entrances, while the end bays have rectangular bay windows. The first floor includes three-light, flat-topped dormers on the first and third bays, and the end bay displays an Art Nouveau-style pargetted panel below the window. The entrances have doors with small-paned lights and strap hinges. Five brick stacks are present, with a lateral stack on the third bay featuring a stone base and weathering. The rear elevation is similar, with a plaster first floor and half-dormers.
