5-8, Belvedere Square

This is a row of cottages built in the middle to late 19th century as part of the planned Belvedere Square development, which also included properties on Church Road. The cottages are constructed of polychrome brick with a tall Welsh slate roof, featuring crested ridge tiles and tall brick stacks topped with cornices and decorative bargeboards. Each house has a prominent two-storey gabled bay and a lower entrance bay shared with its neighbour. The entrance bays have slate-hung, pointed-arch pent roofs protecting the recessed boarded doors. First-floor windows are casements set beneath pointed relieving arches. The ground floor features canted bays with corniced tops and hipped slate roofs. Low brick forecourt walls with corniced coping run along the front.
