134-140, CLIFTON GREEN

A terrace of four houses located on Clifton Green, built in the 1870s and 1880s by John Bellerby. The buildings are constructed of yellow brick, with mottled red brick to the rear, and feature stone dressings. They have slate roofs. The terrace presents a symmetrical facade of two storeys and an attic. Each house has three bays, with sash windows lacking glazing bars, set within segmental arches topped with keystones. Moulded string courses run along the facade, linking the first-floor window sills and accompanied by two additional, interrupted string courses below. A moulded cornice is present at eaves level. Number 140, at the terrace's left end, has a wider, left-hand bay with a projecting straight-sided bay window on the ground floor, shielded by a slate roof. Above this, the first floor exhibits three windows separated by pilasters, the central window being wider. The attic features a shaped gable with coping and ball finials, incorporating blind recesses on either side of a taller central section that has a pediment supported by pilasters and a round-headed window. The central bay of the facade is distinguished by a doorway with a segmental pediment on pilasters, framing an architrave with a semicircular head. The door itself has six raised and fielded panels, formed in a bolection moulding, with a semicircular overlight above. The right-hand bay has a brick canted bay window on the ground floor, a pair of windows on the first floor, and a pedimented brick attic dormer. Number 138 mirrors this design, but with reduced emphasis on the right-hand bay. Numbers 136 and 134 are exact mirror images of numbers 140 and 138, respectively. Ridge chimneys are visible on the left, right, and between each house. The interiors have not been inspected.
