Description
A terrace of three houses, Langton House (No. 215), Shelley House (No. 217), and Brantwood House (No. 219), with attached screen walls, was built around 1800. They are constructed from ashlar magnesian limestone with a Welsh slate roof. The houses are three storeys high, with a basement, and have six bays each. Attached screen walls extend to the left (two bays) and right (one bay). Each house has stone steps leading to a six-panel door and fanlight containing radial glazing bars, set within a columned, open-pedimented stone porch. To the left of the porch is a basement window, and on the ground floor a bow window. Basement windows have flat arches, while ground floor windows have projecting stone sills to sashes with glazing bars, each set under a basket relieving arch. The first floor has a sill band to sashes with glazing bars set under flat arches. The second floor features six-pane sashes with projecting stone sills, under a wooden eaves cornice with gutter brackets. The houses have shaped kneelers and ashlar gable copings, with rendered stacks positioned at each end and between bays four and five along with a yellow brick ridge stack between bays two and three. The screen wall on the left has two semi-domed niches with keystones; the right portion is a cement-rendered wall. The screen wall on the right includes a small sixteen-pane sash where a niche once stood, with ashlar copings at the first floor sill band level and a ball finial on the right.
