Description
These are three early 19th-century houses on West Street, Harwich, forming a unified group of architectural merit. The houses are built of red Flemish-bond brickwork, with Welsh slate gabled roofs. Number 47 has a pebbledashed front elevation. The houses are three storeys high and share a similar design, although Number 48 projects slightly forward. Decorative brick courses are present at the eaves and around the northwest wall stacks of each unit, with the stack on Number 48 having been rebuilt. The second floor of each house features recessed square double-hung sash windows with two vertical glazing bars, each set under a rubbed brick arch. The first floor windows are double-hung sashes with smaller panes. Ground floor windows are similar, shallower double-hung sashes, also with small panes, and feature an iron grille in front of Gothick trefoil-headed arches at the lower part. Each house has a door with a semicircular brick arch above and a plaster tympanum. The interior has not been inspected.
