Description
Nos 6 and 8 Camp Mount are a pair of villas built around 1850. They are constructed from rendered and painted artificial stone, featuring painted stucco dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The buildings are two storeys high and include cellars and attics, designed in an H-shaped plan with five bays across the front.
The front, which now serves as the garden front, is rendered and features central paired round-arched doorways. To the left is a four-panel door, and to the right is a part-glazed door, both beneath fanlights and surrounded by Tuscan-style architraves with keyed archivolts. Above the doors is a wrought-iron railing that leads to a balcony formed by recessed bays, which have linked round-arched four-pane windows below fanlights, all framed with keyed architraves and a blind central light.
The flanking wings are distinguished by a giant order of corner pilasters with acanthus-leaf capitals that do not connect to pediments. The ground-floor features canted bay windows with blocking courses above their cornices, while the first-floor windows have moulded sills for the casements. The end bays are set back and include outer pilasters; the ground floor has a French window with leaved round-arched lights and marginal panes, while the first floor has a four-pane sash window.
On the outer returns of the projecting wings, there are tall and narrow round-arched staircase windows with marginal panes. The rear of the villas has hipped ends to the roof, a central ridge stack, and eaves stacks on the outer sides of the wings, which now face Camp Mount. The painted artificial stone is complemented by single-storey kitchen wings that project as pavilions with pitched roofs.
Each house in the main range has a ground-floor four-panel door below an overlight, flanked by windows—casements to the left and sashes with glazing bars to the right. The first-floor features casements, with six panes to the left and four panes with leaded lights to the right, all set in artificial stone surrounds. There are also two dormer windows.
On the left return, there is a ground-floor window with two lights and round heads, along with a first-floor casement window. The right return features a ground-floor French window with round-arched leaves and marginal panes, and a four-pane casement window on the first floor.
