13,14 AND 15, COLLEGE STREET

A terrace of three town houses, dating from the 1820s, with later 19th-century alterations to number 15. The houses are built of brick with buff headers and stucco dressings, and have a slate roof, renewed to number 13. They feature brick stacks paired across the ridge, with a further end stack. The design is in a Georgian style and the houses are arranged over two storeys with a six-window facade. Plain eaves run along the top. Each house has an entrance to the left of the windows, with doorcases including pilasters, friezes, and flat cornices. The doors are a mix of two-panel glazed, two-fielded, and two-flush panel designs, although number 15 has a simpler doorcase with a consoled cornice and overlight to a three-fielded-panel door. A segmental-headed entry is located to the left end, and a carriage entrance to the right end, both with 20th-century doors within their cases. The windows have sills and rusticated wedge lintels with keys over sixteen-pane sashes. Number 15 has a canted bay window with a consoled cornice over a two-by-four-by-two-pane sash to the left of the entrance. College Street forms part of the development on the site of a medieval priests’ college, which stood until 1799 and is within an area of high-quality early 19th-century housing.
