Description

MATERIALS Heavily raked dark brickwork, with horizontal white weatherboarding and bands of black vertical boarding to upper floors; flat roofs.

PLAN The block is of three storeys and comprises seven maisonettes on the upper two floors with six flats below. Each dwelling has its own external doorway on the north side of the block. The flats and maisonettes have varying plans of 1-2 bedrooms and 2-3 bedrooms respectively.

EXTERIOR On the north (entrance) side, projecting brick walls form a series of irregularly-shaped yards enclosed by white boarded timber gates. Original front doors are of white-painted timber with two large glazed panels. Windows are centrally-hinged black timber casements, those to the upper floors set in bands of black vertical boarding; the living-room windows are taller, creating a varied pattern of fenestration. To the south the flats have glazed sliding doors with black timber surrounds opening onto semi-enclosed patios.

INTERIORS Original internal fittings, including built-in cupboards, glazed partitions to living rooms/kitchens and timber handrails to stairs, survive to varying degrees across the estate.
