Lightwood Ridge (Number 199) And Woodlea (Number 201)

Two houses, Lightwood Ridge (Number 199) and Woodlea (Number 201), were built between 1903 and 1904 by Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin. They are constructed mainly of roughly coursed millstone grit with ashlar dressings, and have tiled roofs with overhanging eaves, moulded wooden barge boards, and a brick ridge stack. The style is Vernacular Revival. The houses present an irregular, twin-gabled street frontage with four windows. The single-storey centre has two small, two-light mullion windows above two basement doors, and a three-light raking dormer window set above. The left gable features an unusual corner window with a triangular bay and a two-light mullion window that wraps around the corner; below this is a three-light mullion window, over a two-light mullion basement window. The projecting right gable has two four-light mullion windows on each floor, which also wrap around the corners. The right return boasts an off-centre doorway reached by steps, recessed within an arched opening with angled sides, and with a part-glazed plank door featuring iron studs. Above the doorway is a four-light mullion window, and to the right a two-storey projecting gable wing with two four-light mullion windows on each floor, wrapping around the corners. A further four-light mullion window is positioned in the main gable. The left return has similar fenestration. All windows have square leaded casements. The interior of Number 199 retains many original features, including an inglenook fireplace in the sitting room with a raised hearth, a copper vent and firehood, a tiled fireplace surround with a built-in coal box and end settles, a recess for a clock above a bressumer, exposed ceiling joists, and original doors, some of which have moulded cornices and panelling with glazed top lights. The staircase has splat balusters. Upper floors contain corner fireplaces, one with a tiled surround, fitted cupboards, and washbasins by Shanks and Co of Scotland. There is a glazed light well, and the attic displays eaves that are diagonally cross boarded. The interior of Number 201 has not been inspected.
