4 and 6, Stanley Road B14

Nos 4 and 6 Stanley Road are a pair of semi-detached houses built around 1894-1895, designed by C E Bateman of Bateman and Bateman. They feature a symmetrical half-timbered Arts and Crafts style with well-executed details. The ground floor is constructed of brick with a roughcast plinth, while the first floor has close studding. The building has a six-bay range, with the end bays slightly lower and designed as gabled cross wings. The central two bays of the ground floor are set back under a jetty. The roofs have a steep pitch and are tiled, with a large central red brick chimney stack on the ridge and external stacks on the sides, linked by cross roofs to the roofs of the cross wings. The windows consist of small, parted wood casements, and there are small two-light windows above two centred arched roll-moulded stone doorways in the bays next to the cross wings. The recessed centre of the ground floor features two small canted wood bays with glazing bars and deep entablatures up to the soffit of the jetty. The houses were illustrated in The Builder magazine in March 1900.
