Numbers 10 and 11 with Area Ironwork and Gatepiers to Front Garden

Numbers 10 and 11 are a pair of houses built around 1836 in the Italianate style. They are constructed of stucco with a rusticated ground floor and feature a Welsh slate roof. The houses are two storeys tall with an attic and basement, designed symmetrically with a central porch that connects the main range to the advanced outer gables. Each house has a three-window range, with the outer bays forming advanced gables.

The central doors, which are accessed by steps in the projecting porch, have fanlights above. Number 11 features a Gothick panelled door, while Number 10 has a renewed door. The flanking windows are round-arched four-pane sashes, and the first floor has four-pane sash windows set in shouldered architraves, along with a narrow window above the door. There is a round-arched attic window in the gable apex, and the barge-boards return to form a pediment at the gable. The eaves overhang and are supported by brackets.

On either side of the steps and basement, there is a cast-iron balustrade with balusters at the angles and scroll decorations. The square gate piers have shallow pyramidal caps, with the one at Number 11 being heavily overhanging. The elevation facing the Esplanade features a canted bay window on the ground floor, divided by pilasters in the gabled outer bays, and a balcony with a cast-iron balustrade above the first-floor windows. There is also a balustrade between the canted bays. The attic windows in this section are recessed in segmentally arched dormers that break the eaves line.

These houses are part of the original Rock Park development, which was laid out in 1836 by J. Bennison.
