1-4, King Georges Drive And 8-12, The Causeway

A group of nine houses built in 1913, designed by J. Lomax Simpson, located in Port Sunlight, and situated at 1-4 King Georges Drive and 8-12 The Causeway. The houses are constructed of brick with stone dressings and some roughcast, with hipped tile roofs. They are arranged over two storeys, with six bays in total. The second and fifth bays project under gables, and the end bay is gabled. The gabled and end bay feature random stone quoins and brick coping, while the diapered end bay has a decorative brick pattern. The roughcast first floor of the third and fourth bays juts out on brackets, with deep, bracketed eaves. The windows are small-paned casements; those in the gabled bays are segmental-headed, and those in the end two bays have diamond panes. The ground floor features a window arrangement of 4:5:5:4-lights, with a four-light canted bay window at the end. The first floor has a four-light window in the second bay and a three-light window in the third. The entrances have plank doors with small-paned lights, with a lean-to porch to the first bay. Three stacks are positioned across the front of the building. The facade facing The Causeway is similar, with paired gable bays that have projecting stacks. The bays between these have projecting paired windows on the first floor, with a panel dated 1913 placed centrally between them. A cross-axial stack is also present. The rear of the houses mirrors the front design.
