Numbers 9 And 11, Garden Wall And Outhouse Adjoining To Rear

A pair of houses with a garden wall and outhouse to the rear, dating from the 1870s and built for the Winn Estate. The houses and outhouse are constructed of dressed limestone with red brick dressings and yellow brick details, and have pantile roofs. The garden wall is of red brick. The layout is U-shaped, with each house featuring an entrance hall leading to a central range, a front parlour, and a rear kitchen/pantry in a side wing.

The houses are two storeys high, with three windows on each first floor. The central range has a single-window design with entrances recessed in the angles, flanked by projecting gabled wings. Features include a chamfered plinth and raised quoins. The front doors are board doors in chamfered wooden frames, set beneath porches with sloping roofs supported by corbelled timber brackets. A three-light window is centrally positioned, with similar three-light windows in the side wings. A three-course band runs along the first floor, featuring a central cogged yellow brick course. Smaller first-floor windows are present above. All windows have wooden mullions and glazing bars within raised brick surrounds, with painted sills and rubbed-brick cambered arches, except for the first-floor centre window, which has a weatherboarded gable that breaks the eaves line.

A three-course stepped and cogged brick eaves cornice is prominent in the central section, extending as raking cornices to the wings, forming broken pediments to the gables with overhanging eaves and plain bargeboards. The projecting stacks to the left and right returns have quoins, ashlar offsets, red and yellow brick lozenge panels, brick bands, and cornices to the upper sections; four original square-section crested pots are present on the left, and two on the right. Side walls flanking the stacks feature pairs of large interlocking brick lozenge panels on the ground floor, a cogged brick bond on the first floor, sets of three small lozenge panels, and a cogged brick eaves cornice.

A brick-coped wall separating the gardens connects with a single-storey outhouse featuring a plinth, quoins, board doors, cogged brick eaves and raking cornices similar to the houses. This example is part of a series of houses built in the village for Rowland Winn of Nostell, later Lord St Oswald, based on plans published by the Salopian Society.
