Moorfield Place

These are a row of six houses built around 1822, located on the west side of Edgar Street, Hereford. They are brick-built with a Welsh slate roof and have six axial brick stacks. The houses are arranged with a six-unit plan.

The exterior presents three storeys and an attic, with a six-window range on each house. The windows are predominantly 6/6 sashes, with painted stone sills and reveals, set under segmental arches. Above these are smaller 3/3 sashes. The building features brick modillion eaves which extend to form a pediment over the central two-unit projecting gable. The three left-hand units have entrances on both the left and right, while the remaining units have entrances on only one side. Many retain original six-panel doors, with cast-iron fanlights set within semicircular, gauged brick arches, flanked by sashes under segmental arches, all with painted reveals and stone sills.

No.39 has a 20th-century wrought-iron staircase; the second floor retains an early 19th-century hobgrate and fire surround, architraves to windows, and 4-panel doors.
