Description
This is an early 18th-century row of cottages located on St Peter’s Street. Numbers 62 and 64 are each two storeys high with one window each. They are built of red brick with a decorative pattern of blue headers, and have tiled roofs. The first-floor sash windows have glazing bars within flush, moulded frames and sit directly under the eaves. The ground-floor sash windows also have glazing bars and are set within flush box frames, each with a gauged, segmental brick arch above. Small, bracketed hoods shelter the doors.
Numbers 66 and 68 date from around 1700 and are also two storeys high with one window each. They have steeply pitched tiled roofs with simple eaves cornices. Traces of a jettied front are visible beneath a pebbledashed exterior. The windows are modern casements with glazing bars in plain frames. Gabled, bracketed hoods cover the doors.
Number 70 is two storeys high with two windows. It has a moderately pitched tiled roof with a simple wood eaves cornice. The walls are now pebbledashed, and the main windows are modern casements with glazing bars in plain wood frames. However, the first-floor windows at the outer sides, positioned above the doors, are oval and feature rhomboid glazing bars laid horizontally.
Numbers 58 to 78 (even) are designated as a group.
