33-39, COACH ROAD

Nos 33-39 on Coach Road are houses built around 1828. They are made of coursed, dressed sandstone and have a Welsh slate roof, with some original stone slates still on part of the rear roof. The front facade is symmetrical and single-storey, featuring four windows and two doors set within a central porch. The end houses have gable entries. There is a plinth at the base, and the central porch has 20th-century doors with a flat roof, decorated with Tudor-arched openings and hood-moulds, along with roll-moulded parapet copings. The flanking windows have flush sills and quoined reveals, with pointed arches and hood-moulds, all fitted with casements that have intersecting glazing bars. A chamfered band runs along the eaves, and the gable copings are moulded. The roof has two groups of ridge stacks, each with six diagonally-set square shafts on linked plinths.

The rear of the houses has been extensively altered. On the left side, there is a central door in a chamfered, quoined opening with a hood-mould, flanked by pointed-arched openings similar to the front; the left opening is blind, while the right now has a casement. There is also an inserted casement above the door, and the eaves band continues across the gable. The right side is similar but features a reused limestone surround for the blind gable oculus. These houses were formerly known as Chapel Houses, built from stone sourced from the Chapel of Holy Trinity, which was demolished in 1827 to make way for St. Mary's Church.
