Description
A pair of semi-detached houses, numbers 25 and 27-29 Well Walk, dating to 1881-82 and designed by Henry Legg for Edward Gotto. The houses are constructed of red brick with sandstone and granite dressings, moulded plaster eaves, and a brown tiled roof. They are three storeys plus attic, with a double row of dormers. The original windows retain ornamental glazing and coloured glass in the upper lights, and prominent chimney-stacks have ribbed flanks and moulded caps. Cast-iron straining arches, inscribed with 'F' and '1882', connect the houses with numbers 21 and 23.
The southern house, number 25, features a sandstone tablet inscribed "3 FOLEY AVENUE" and has a prominent oriel at first and second floor levels, supported by an engaged granite column with a sandstone base bearing carved leaf decoration. The arched ground floor window has an apron of cut brick. The northern house, number 27, has a sandstone tablet inscribed "4 FOLEY AVENUE" and includes a projecting angle turret on a free-standing granite column with a foliate capital, supporting a gadrooned turret base and an onion-domed tiled roof with a finial. The return elevation displays a dentil cornice and a three-storey projecting bay. A brick and sandstone gate pier is inscribed "FOLEY AVENUE."
The interiors have not been inspected. Numbers 25 and 27-29, along with numbers 21 and 23, form a prominent group, designed on a large scale with bulbous detailing and adjoining the listed Chalybeate well, also by Legg.
