Numbers 6, 8, 10 And 12 Including Forecourt Piers In Front And Walls

This is an early 18th-century terrace, comprising numbers 6, 8, 10, and 12, along with forecourt piers and associated walls. Each house has two storeys, an attic, and a basement. Numbers 6, 8, and 10 each feature three windows, while number 12 has four. The roofs are high-pitched and tiled, with two dormers per house, each with a low, pedimented top. A moulded, modillioned wooden eaves cornice runs along the top. There are two very large, rebuilt chimney stacks. The construction is primarily brown brick with red brick dressings, incorporating bands in two planes at the first and second floor levels. Sash windows, some renewed, are set within gauged, shallow segmental arches; those in numbers 6 and 12 retain glazing bars. Moulded wooden cills are present. Stone steps lead to each front door, with fluted cornice heads and rectangular fanlights. Number 6 has a renewed door consisting of eight fielded panels and an early 19th-century patterned semi-circular fanlight. Number 8 features an early 19th-century door of four fielded and two flat panels. Numbers 10 and 12 have doors of eight fielded panels. Each door is surrounded by a wooden Doric doorcase with fluted pilasters, a triglyph frieze, a moulded architrave, and a dentil cornice that breaks back in the centre. Numbers 10 and 12 also have wrought iron area railings. Six brick gate piers have moulded stone caps and ball finials, standing on stone-coped plinths. Low, stone-coped walls connect the piers. Older railings have been removed and replaced with modern ones.

Numbers 6, 8, 10 and 12, together with the other listed buildings on the West Side of Crooms Hill from numbers 6 to 46 (even) and numbers 38 and 40, form a group of buildings of group value.
