110, 112 AND 114, DERBY ROAD

The property at 110, 112, and 114 Derby Road is a house, now divided into three separate houses. Its origins lie in the early 17th century, with a significant addition made in 1676, and subsequent alterations in the mid-19th century and the 20th century. The construction incorporates coursed squared and rubble sandstone, with gritstone dressings, and a plain tile roof topped with a large brick ridge stack and a gable stack to the west.

The building stands two stories high with attic space, with No. 110 positioned at a higher level due to the rising ground. Originally, Nos. 110, 112, and 114 may have been a single house, potentially with a former lobby entry plan. The northwest façade, facing Woods Yard, features No. 110 to the right, which exhibits a chamfered plinth and quoins on its right side. A modern door is situated to the left, accompanied by a 3-light casement window to the right, both protected by a continuous dripmould. Above these are two 3-light casement windows. Centrally, a gabled dormer is present, showcasing stone copings on moulded kneelers, quoins, a 3-light recessed and chamfered mullion window beneath a dripmould, and a plaque inscribed ‘SE 1676’. No. 112 features a central plank door under an incised wedge lintel, flanked to the right by a small 19th-century casement and to the left by a 16-pane sash window under a matching lintel. Above the door is a 2-light 19th-century casement, and to the left, a 19th-century 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion window. No. 114, extending to the left, includes a 19th-century brick lean-to with a pantile roof on the ground floor and a blocked mullioned window above. The gable wall of No. 114 displays 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows with dripmoulds on both the ground and first floors.

The garden elevation of No. 110 has a 20th-century lean-to with two 20th-century windows above. No. 112 has an inserted plank door to the left, a plain sash window beneath an incised wedge lintel to the right, and a blocked 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a dripmould. Above the sash is a 3-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a dripmould; above again is a similar window within a gabled dormer with stone copings on moulded kneelers. To the right, No. 114 has an inserted plank door beneath a brick segmental arch, alongside a 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion window. Above this is a similar window, and to the left, another matching single-light window. The interior of No. 110 has been completely modernized.
