4 And 5, Pierpoint Street

Nos. 4 and 5 Pierpoint Street are a pair of houses dating from around 1830, with later additions and alterations. They are constructed of pinkish-brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a tiled roof and a brick party-wall stack featuring an oversailing course and decorative pots. Stone steps remain where original.

The houses are three storeys high with a half-basement and an attic to the left, featuring a window arrangement of 1 plus 1 window per floor. The ground floor has outer entrances with roll-edged steps leading to a 4-panel door at number 4 (upper panels raised and fielded, lower panels flush-beaded and renewed) and a matching door at number 5, both within panelled reveals. These doorways have fanlights with radial glazing bars, set within doorcases featuring fluted pilasters and open pediments on corbels. The ground floor also has plate-glass windows within original, wide, cambered-arched openings. The first floor has canted timber oriels with a central 6/1 sash window between 1/1 sash windows. The second floor has 3/3 sash windows. The attic contains a flat-roofed dormer and casement windows.

The interior was not inspected. Numbers 4-8 and 11, 12, 12A and 13 Pierpoint Street form a group with numbers 4 and 6 Sansome Walk.
