33 And 35, The Crescent

A pair of semi-detached houses located on The Crescent in Adwick-le-Street, built in 1908 as part of the Woodlands colliery village development. The houses were designed by Percy Houfton for the Brodsworth Colliery Company. They are constructed with a brick ground floor and roughcast upper walls, topped with a later cement-tile roof. Each house has two storeys and a symmetrical arrangement of two windows on each floor. The windows are wooden casements with glazing bars. Number 35, on the left, features a later door set beneath a wooden canopy supported by curved brackets. The door is flanked by a window of three lights on the left and a window of four lights on the right, with a tile dripcourse. The first floor windows are also four-light casements, each beneath a gable decorated with a motif of squares, and a dripcourse. Number 35 retains an original boarded door. The eaves are swept, and the gables have dentilled brick stacks corbelled from them. A central ridge stack is also present, with hatching detail.
