53-55, Holywell Street

Nos 53 to 55 on Holywell Street are a pair of houses that form one building, likely dating back to the 17th century, although they have been significantly altered and modernized. The structure is three stories tall and built of ashlar stone, with cellars and a decorative moulded band at each floor level. This band features double sash windows set in modern stone mullioned frames. On the west side, there is a roughcast gable that includes a modern three-light casement window, and behind the parapet at this end, a gabled dormer from an earlier house can be seen. The east gable end is also roughcast, while the back of the building, facing south, is finished in modern red brick. All the listed buildings on the south side of Holywell Street are part of a group.
