Claremount And Attached Walls And Gates

Claremount is a terrace of seven houses built around 1860, with later 20th-century alterations. The terrace is divided into two sections: numbers 1 to 5, and numbers 6 and 7. The houses are constructed of coursed squared gritstone with slate roofs. They are double-fronted, two-storey buildings with a central doorway to each. The doorways are accentuated by deep cornices supported on console brackets. The ground-floor windows are flanked by sash windows, and while the frames have been replaced, the original windows were sashes with glazing bars, set within stone sills and lintels. A stone plaque, bearing the name 'CLAREMOUNT' carved in incised lettering, is located on the first floor at the left end of the terrace. Large, square, corniced ridge stacks are positioned at each end of the terrace and between the properties. Numbers 6 and 7 project slightly forward. The interior of the houses has not been inspected. A boundary wall, approximately 1 meter high and 50 meters long, runs along the west end and south side of the gardens of numbers 1 to 5, with rounded copings. Each house has a pair of gate piers with cavetto-moulded capstones.
