46, 47 AND 48, BROAD STREET

These are a group of three houses on Broad Street in Ludlow, dating from the 18th century but incorporating an earlier core. The front facade is roughcast, with a plain tile roof, a hipped gable to the rear wing, a brick end stack to the right, and a brick stack to the rear. The houses are arranged as a three-unit terrace, two storeys high with an attic. They have a six-window front, featuring 6/6 sash windows. Three large dormers with 2-light casements, including leaded glass upper sections, are set within fake timber framing. The left-hand house has a central 6-panel door flanked by a late 19th-century 8/8 sash window and a plank door leading to a passage. The central house features a similar entrance, flanked by 6/6 sash windows. The right-hand house has a similar door, now with glazed panels, and a late 19th-century 8/8 sash window to the left. A stucco storey band runs along the front. A decorative stone figurehead corbel is located at the far left. The left return has a 19th-century brick gable with moulded barge boards, and the right return has a rendered gable with three 19th-century window lights, set against the base of a buttressed rubble stack.
