9-12, Belvedere Square

This is a row of cottages dating from the mid to late 19th century, forming part of the planned Belvedere Square development, and linked to numbers 16-26 Church Road, numbers 4 and 13 Belvedere Square, and numbers 5-8 and 17-31 Belvedere Square. The cottages are built of polychrome brick with a tall Welsh slate roof, featuring crested ridge tiles and large brick stacks with cogged cornices and decorative bargeboards. Each house has a prominent, wide two-storey gabled bay, paired with its neighbour. The lower entrance bays are narrower and set back, with slate-hung, pointed-arched pent roofs sheltering boarded doors. First-floor windows are casements set under pointed relieving arches. Ground-floor windows are within canted bays featuring cogged cornices and hipped slate roofs. Low brick forecourt walls with corniced coping run along the front.
