19-67, ELM GROVE

Elm Grove is an early 19th century row of two-storied cottages built of chequered brick with red brick dressings. The cottages have gable end slate roofs, shallow wood eaves cornices, and originally possessed one window per property, although some have two. The windows are sash windows, most retaining their glazing bars, with moulded flush wood frames and flat brick arches above. Block sills are also present. Later Victorian bay windows have been added to some. The front doors are either recessed with semi-circular fanlights and red brick arches, or set within paired entrances featuring doorcases with thin pilasters and bracketed hoods. Number 43 is the largest cottage, displaying a hinged roof, projecting eaves cornice, a block string course, three windows to the first floor and two to the ground floor. Number 47, which is now The Gardeners Rest Public House, has a stucco front. Numbers 51, 53, and 55 have been painted. Number 53 includes an ornate barrel vaulted porch with trellis work, and Number 57 features a gabled trellis porch with a finial. Numbers 11 to 67 (odd) are considered to form a group valued for their collective architectural impact.
