Number 25 And Attached Boundary Walls

Number 25 is a house with an attached coach house and boundary walls, built in 1878. Designed by TC Hine of Nottingham, it was altered in the late 20th century. The house is constructed of red brick with terracotta and ashlar dressings, featuring gabled and hipped slate roofs and four tall coped brick stacks. It is built in a Gothic Revival style, with a plinth, lintel and sill bands, a first-floor band, and moulded brick eaves. The windows are primarily plain sashes, with pointed arches to those on the ground floor. The building has two storeys plus a basement and attics, and a three-window range. The house occupies an acute-angled corner site, with a symmetrical garden front featuring a recessed central section with a single first-floor window. The side bays have a two-light window on each floor, with a central shaft, and the ground floor windows have pointed arches. The attics have two box dormers. A single pointed arched window is set within a splayed and corbelled corner to the left. The angled entrance front includes a three-stage square tower porch with a pyramidal roof, containing two pointed arched openings, a datestone above, and an arcaded third stage. To the right is a pair of polygonal bays with half-windows, while to the left is a two-storey, three-light canted bay window with a pyramidal roof. External coped balustrades, 2 and 3 metres long, flank the porch, supported by two square gate piers. Adjacent to the right is a rendered brick boundary wall with gabled brick coping. To the left is the former coach house, two storeys high, with elaborate traceried timber framing and pargeted panels to the first-floor conservatory. A square wooden oriel window, with transomed ogee-headed lights, is supported by brackets. The ground floor of the coach house is rendered and contains a 20th-century cross casement window. The property was part of TC Hine’s development of the Park Estate for the 5th Duke of Newcastle.
