248-254, BRIDGNORTH ROAD

The terrace at 248-254 Bridgnorth Road comprises four houses dating from around 1890. Designed by Edward Ould for Theodore Mander, they were originally part of a planned village development for the Wightwick Manor estate, though the development was never fully realised. The construction is primarily painted brick, with the first floor clad in tile hanging. The roof is half-hipped, covered in tiles, and features a timber-framed central gable with decorative bargeboards and brick stacks. The architectural style is Vernacular Revival.

The houses are single-storey with an attic, arranged in a five-window range with a gabled elevation centred on the design. The ground floor windows are small-paned casements with board shutters secured by strap hinges. The first floor has gabled dormers with leaded casements, and more recently introduced casements within the central gable. The entrance to each end house is sheltered by a canopy that sweeps out from the tile-hung first floor, with battened doors. A central passageway is flanked by gabled porches with pierced bargeboards and altered doors; the passageway itself has been changed. There are two stacks arranged cross-axially along the front. Rear dormers are also present.
