Description
Nos. 23 and 24 North Brink are a pair of Jacobean-Gothic revival houses built by Algenon Peckover between 1854 and 1860. They are constructed from yellow gault brick with limestone dressings and feature a tiled roof adorned with fleur de lys ridge tiles. The buildings stand two storeys high with attics and basements. They have a central ridge stack and two side stacks on slightly projecting wings, each topped with four equal, cross-stepped gables and tall stone finials. The tall chimney pots on all stacks have moulded decoration.
On the first floor, there are three twelve-paned hung sash windows set in flat stone arches with drip moulds, and six similar windows on the second floor. Stone bands run between the floors and cap the plinth. The ground floor window of No. 24 retains its original three-light hung sash window, while No. 23 has been altered to include a canted bay window. The two Gothic oak doors are accessed by stone steps with low flanking walls. Inside, the houses feature an original open string staircase with fluted newel posts and six-panelled doors.
