22, 23 & 24 Station Street (St James's Place)

This is a row of three houses, built in the mid-19th century as part of a terrace. The houses are constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with painted stone dressings and slate roofs. They are three storeys high and two rooms deep, with a lateral staircase and single-brick walls and landings dividing the front and rear of each building. The rear of the properties includes single-storey and two-storey ranges, and a brick-paved covered passageway connects numbers 23 and 24.

The front façade is divided between the ground floor and upper floors by a painted stone band, with a cornice at eaves level. The first-floor windows are each supported by brackets and have projecting lintels; numbers 23 and 24 also feature a pedimental cresting. Above the door of number 24 is a painted tablet reading "ST JAMES'S / PLACE". Brackets and stone sills are present on the second-floor windows. Visible steel tie ends are present on the upper floors of numbers 22 and 23. To the left of the door of number 24, a round-arched passageway provides access to a separate workshop range at the rear (not included in the listing). This passageway is defined by brick relieving arches at each end and in the centre. The front doors are six-panel doors, each with a rectangular fanlight, brackets, projecting and blocking courses. Number 22 has a canted bay window with steel bars, while number 24 has a 20th-century inserted plate glass shopfront. Two steps lead to the front door; these are made of either engineering brick (numbers 22 and 23) or a combination of stone and concrete (number 24).

The rear of the buildings has sash windows with stone sills, although some of the windows have been replaced in the 20th century. A rear brick range of number 22 is at least partly from the late 20th century.

Internally, numbers 22 and 23 have been opened out, and many fittings and plasterwork have been removed. Surviving features include a corbelled arch to the entrance hall, ceiling cornices, moulded window reveals, sash windows with glazing bars, and stair structures, as shown in photographic evidence. The ground floor of number 24 has a tiled floor in the passageway, while the ground and first floors feature cornices and plain fire surrounds to the rear rooms. The first-floor fireplace includes a cast-iron grate.
