Duke of York Cottages

Duke of York Cottages comprise a terrace of 19 houses, with number 19 originally serving as a laundry. The buildings were constructed in 1934 by J. Lomax Simpson. They are situated in Port Sunlight, curving in crescents to Greendale Road and Primrose Hill, with a short return frontage to Brook Street.

The facades are of varying materials: the Greendale Road front is of plaster with stone dressings, with stone and brick construction and stone dressings; the Primrose Hill front is of brick with stone dressings and plaster; and the Brook Street elevation is similar to Primrose Hill's. The roofs are stone slate.

The Greendale Road elevation exhibits plasterwork with stone dressings, with three-bay projecting sections at each end of stone construction, featuring drip mouldings over the ground floor. The inner two bays are gabled. Windows are double-chamfered mullioned, with two and three leaded lights, some having elliptical heads. Gablets are present over six bays on the first floor. Entrance lintels are decorated, with some having flat canopies and two incorporating lean-to porches; plank doors are a feature. Six cross-axial stacks are visible.

The Primrose Hill facade incorporates a plaster band and coping. Ground floor windows are protected by canopies, with weatherboarded gablets over two bays. Windows are small-paned casements, with a three-light window at each end of the ground floor, and a canted and rectangular bay window to the centre. The first floor features three-light windows, with two four-light windows centrally placed. Entrances have plank doors with small-paned lights. Timber-framed canted ends include a central projecting gabled bay with a jettied first floor and gable. Windows within the canted ends are of two and three lights with leaded glazing; the canted bays have canted recesses.

The Brook Street facade mirrors the Primrose Hill style, encompassing four bays with a one-storey design and a three-bay laundry to the right. Fifteen brick stacks are present. The rear elevation is of brick, and the first floor is roughcast, with small-paned casements.
