Description

These are linked villas located at numbers 2 to 6 Ripplevale Grove, built between 1839 and 1841. They are constructed from yellow stock bricks arranged in Flemish bond, with stucco dressings. Numbers 2 and 4 feature a Welsh-slate hipped roof with projecting eaves, while number 6 has a pitched roof. All three villas have ridge tiles and brick end-wall stacks.

The buildings are designed with a centre-hall entrance plan, standing two storeys tall with three windows each, and are double-fronted. There is a ground-floor stucco storey band and gauged brick round arches above the ground-floor openings. Above the doorway of number 4, there is a panel inscribed 'Albion Cottage'. The doorways of numbers 4 and 6 are adorned with Roman Doric columns that support cornice-heads, and they feature panelled doors with patterned fanlights. The windows are 6/6 sashes with curved Gothic-style glazing bars and margin lights. The first floor has a stucco sill band for the 6/6 sashes set within gauged-brick flat arches, and number 6 includes a stucco cornice. The villas are connected by irregular 19th and 20th-century recessed bays, some of which have additional entrances.
