Description

25 and 27 The Folds are two houses built around 1892 by Grayson and Ould. They are constructed of brick with stone dressings on a stone base, featuring timber framing on the first bay and tile-hanging on the second bay, with a half-hipped tile roof at the right end. The houses are one storey with an attic and consist of two bays, with the first bay projecting forward and featuring a jettied gabled first floor. The ground floor has four-light leaded casements, while the second bay has a two-light double-chamfered-mullioned window, which likely originally had four lights but is missing two mullions. Above this window is a canted oriel in a gabled half-dormer. The houses have decorated bargeboards and cross-axial stacks. The left return has a stone ground floor with a double-chamfered-mullioned window, a coved first floor, and a jettied gabled first bay, with decorative timber framing and coving at the end. The entrance features a canopy and a door with vertical strips and leaded light. The right return is similar, with the second bay plastered on the first floor.
