Description
1 and 2 St George's Square are two semi-detached houses built around 1860, with some later additions and alterations. They are constructed from brick, featuring stone and stucco detailing, and are topped with a hipped slate roof. The houses have a party wall stack with an oversailing detail and pots. The design is double-fronted and double-depth, originally intended as a single dwelling or designed to appear as one house, with a central entrance. According to the 1886 Ordnance Survey map, they are shown as two separate dwellings. Access to No. 2 is through a narrow, single-window range that is set back to the left return. There are service ranges at the rear.
The buildings rise three storeys and have three first-floor windows. The second floor features 2/2 sash windows, while the first floor mainly has 1/1 sashes. The ground floor includes rectangular bay windows on the left and right, each with a hipped lead roof and tripartite sashes, all set in plain reveals with sills. The stucco and stone detailing includes a moulded plinth, bay window and door surrounds, and a moulded string course below the first-floor windows, which have eared and shouldered surrounds. The second-floor windows have eared surrounds and brackets supporting their sills, and there is an eaves cornice with a narrow string course below.
The entrance to No. 1 features a Tuscan style pilaster door case with console brackets and a moulded canopy, leading up three stone steps to a six-panel door that is raised and fielded with bolection moulding, topped by a plain overlight. No. 2 has a similar door and overlight but with a moulded surround and no canopy, also accessed by three stone steps.
Although these houses were built later than the main group of houses around St George's Square, they represent a classical architectural style and contribute significantly to the character of the area.
