Description
A pair of terraced houses on London Road, dating from the early to mid-19th century, and later altered, including a late 20th-century shopfront designed in a traditional style. The houses are built of finely jointed red brick with painted stone detailing, topped with a slate roof. A party wall stack with pots rises from the rear roof slope.
The houses follow a double-depth plan and extend over three storeys to a cellar. There are three windows on the first floor (two on the left, one on the right). Architectural details include a brick eaves band and a first-floor sill band. The first-floor windows are 6/6 sash windows, the second-floor windows are 3/3 sashes, all set in plain reveals with flat gauged brick arches and sills. The window openings on the right-hand house (No. 3) are similar, although the windows have been altered.
The shopfront to No. 1 has an entrance on the left, and a further six-panel replacement door on the left provides access to a through-passage to the rear. Above this door is an overlight under a cambered arch, which reputedly accommodated horse access to a former stable at the rear. The entrance to No. 3 is on the right, with a replacement six-panel door. Directly above is a section with two raised and fielded panels below a radial pattern fanlight; the semi-circular arch is constructed of gauged brick, as is the cambered arch to the window opening on the left.
The interior has not been inspected.
