63, Victoria Road

No. 63 Victoria Road is a house, now divided into three houses, built in 1838 with a later addition. It was constructed for Thomas Judson, a builder. The building is made of red and brown brick laid in a 1:5 English bond and features a slate hipped roof. It has two storeys and a symmetrical facade facing south, with three first-floor windows. A later two-storey service block has been added to the left (west) side.

Stone steps with nosed treads lead up to a central six-panel door with an overlight that has glazing bars. The doorcase is adorned with reeded pilasters, an entablature, and a cornice. The sash windows have margin-light glazing bars set in flush wood frames, with slightly cambered gauged brick arches and stone sills. At the rear, there is a central door that has been adapted to serve two properties, along with sash windows featuring glazing bars and a central round-headed stair window.

Inside, the house is reputed to retain its original fittings, including a fine staircase. Ash Grove was the only detached house built on Victoria Road by 1850, according to the Ordnance Survey, and it is noted as the only brick-built house of that period in the area.
