298 And 300, New Chester Road

Nos. 298 and 300 on New Chester Road are a pair of houses built in 1898 by Jonathan Simpson. They are constructed of brick with stone dressings, featuring a plaster and timber-framed first floor and a tiled roof. The houses are one storey with an attic and consist of two bays, with the first floor jettied on decorated bressumers and having central and half dormers that are timber-framed.

On the ground floor, there are projecting four-light single-chamfered-mullioned windows with transoms and leaded glazing. The first-floor gabled half dormers contain four-light small-paned casements. The entrance to the first bay is set in a recess and features a timber post, a decorated lintel, and a half-glazed door with a small-paned light. The houses have cross-axial and gable-end stacks.

The left return includes single lights with stone lintels, a timber-framed gable with central diapering, and a jettied timber-framed apex. The right return has canopies over the entrances. The rear of the houses is similar to the front, featuring two gabled half-dormers and privies.
