105 AND 107, GOUGH ROAD B15

Nos 105 and 107 Gough Road are a pair of very narrowly detached villas built between 1845 and 1850 as a symmetrical composition. They are constructed of red brick with stucco Italianate detailing. Each house is two storeys, three bays wide, with the outer bays advanced and three storeys high, originally topped with a hipped slate roof; No 107 later acquired a gabled roof. The main roofs are gable ended with a low pitch and boxed flat eaves, and have corniced chimney stacks. A ground floor sill band and first floor flat band run across the facades. The windows have eared architrave surrounds with pulvinated friezes and cornices, with the exception of the narrow windows in close-set architraves above the porches. The enclosed, rusticated porches have piers flanking the openings, supporting keyed archivolt arches and moulded cornices that break forward over them. The front doors are of four moulded panels with side lights and rectangular fanlights. Each house also has a lean-to hipped roof gig house with boxed eaves in line with the first floor flat band.
