23 And 24, The Street

A pair of attached houses dated 1859, built in the Tudor Revival style. The construction utilizes red brick in Flemish bond, with areas of plastered timber framing featuring exposed imitation framing, and a roof of handmade plain and ornamental red clay tiles. The houses have an irregular cruciform plan, with the entrance to number 24 facing south. A 20th-century flat-roofed single-storey extension is located to the rear right of number 23.

Number 23 has a ground floor oriel window with a 1-3-1 casement configuration, featuring moulded mullions, a surround, and a hipped roof of ornamental tiles. The first floor has a single 3-light casement with similar detailing. A plain door is set within a moulded doorway with a 4-centred head, incorporating embossed foliage in the spandrels, and a moulded and chamfered surround. A carved datestone displays the inscription 'O.S.O. 1859', referencing Onley Savill Onley (né Harvey). The front features original carved and pierced bargeboards in a fleur-de-lis design, partially obscured by plain 20th-century replacements. The right return side has three 2-light casements on the ground floor (including one reused in the 20th-century extension), and one further casement on the first floor. All windows on the front and side are original, with cast iron lattices. Original bargeboards, similar to those on the front, are also present, un-obscured.

Number 24 incorporates a wing projecting to the left, with the first floor extending one bay beyond the ground floor, supported by six moulded posts, and set out as a jetty to the front, left, and rear. Parallel to this is a rear wing and a further service range. Each floor features a single 3-light casement mirroring the first-floor window of number 23. The jetty displays exposed horizontal section joists and a carved fascia, with imitation close studding and curved tension bracing roughcast in between. A feature gable includes original carved and pierced bargeboards, a carved finial, and a pendant. Incorporated into the base of the chimney stack is a carved stone tablet bearing the Onley arms, recessed within a chamfered surround. Six elaborately decorated shafts in a Tudor style, both octagonal and round, are present. A 4-centred arch is found below the projecting first floor, adorned with embossed foliage, a carved pendant, and a moulded surround. The left return side features three similar arches, dragon beams at each corner, and a further similar arch to the rear. The recessed ground floor area has two one-light casements with cast iron latticing and chamfered surrounds, along with a door and doorway comparable to those of number 23. The first floor has an oriel window similar to that of number 23, together with original carved and pierced bargeboards, a carved finial, and a pendant. Joists, a bressumer, and imitation framing are present, extending around the rear elevation of this wing. A small gable with matching detailing is situated over a one-light casement in the adjacent range. There are further original latticed and chamfered casements on the rear elevation and the service range. The roofs are characterized by horizontal bands of alternating plain and ornamental tiles, with the right wing of number 23 predominantly featuring ornamental tiles. The pair of houses retains almost all of its original architectural features.
