Description
21, 23, and 27 North Road are semi-detached houses built around 1825. They feature a stucco front and brown stock brick at the rear, laid in Flemish bond, with hipped Welsh slate roofs above a moulded cornice that has widely spaced modillions and a central stuccoed multi-flue chimneystack.
The exterior consists of three storeys with a four-bay front, flanked by recessed two-storey, three-bay wings that are also stuccoed and have hipped Welsh slate roofs, extending to the full frontage of the sites. The second floor has four recessed nine-pane sash windows, while the first floor has four recessed twelve-pane sash windows above a band. The ground floor features four recessed fifteen-pane sash windows with semicircular heads set within outer arched recesses, which have a projecting impost band and a stucco plinth. The wings are divided by pilaster strips and bands, and each has arched entrances with six-panel doors and semicircular fanlights.
On the rear elevations, there are two sash windows on the first and second floors, featuring twenty-pane and fifteen-pane designs, including narrow margin panes, under rubbed brick arches. The ground floor has two twenty-pane sashes recessed within elliptical arches.
The interior has not been inspected. This development was part of Hertford's expansion along North Road towards the County Hospital in the late 1820s and was marked as 'North Crescent' on an 1830 map.
