Description
This is an early to mid-19th century terrace of three identical houses, known as Ing Head, located on Banks Road, Linthwaite. The houses are constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof and a coped gable. A moulded footstone is present on the west side. Each house has two or three storeys.
The south elevation features three ground-floor entrances, each with a stone surround and tie-stone. The ground floor also has two four-light stone mullioned windows, one of which has a light blocked. One house (No. 5) has a three-light stone mullioned window, with the mullions removed. The first floor has two eight-light stone mullioned windows, one of which has two lights blocked. Again, No. 5 has an eight-light stone mullioned window with two lights blocked and two mullions removed.
The north elevation features a ground-floor window with a three-light mullioned window, a four-light stone mullioned window, and one window with a stone surround. The first-floor has two three-light stone mullioned windows and two two-light stone mullioned windows, each with one mullion removed. Two further windows have stone surrounds but no mullions. The second floor has one eight-light stone mullioned window and one with two lights blocked, and No. 5 has two two-light stone mullioned windows where the former mullions have been removed.
