Description
Nos 23 and 24 on West Street are two houses dated 1790, as indicated on the rainwater head. They are two storeys high, with an attic and cellar, built of fine red brick on a projecting plinth. The first floor features a painted string course, a fluted frieze with roundel ornament, and a delicate moulded cornice. The brick parapet has stone coping, and the houses are topped with an old tile roof.
The two houses are designed together, connected by a slightly recessed bay that includes an arched passage entrance and a panel above. No 24 has three dormers with small sash windows, five windows on the first floor, and four on the ground floor, all with stone cills. The central door has six panels, a scroll brass knocker, and an arched radiating fanlight with a wreathed design. The doorcase features fluted and one-third reeded Ionic pilasters, a broken entablature with a roundel in the frieze, a dentilled cornice, and an open dentilled pediment, along with two moulded stone steps and four cellar lights, plus a foot scraper.
No 23 mirrors the design of No 24, including the door and surround, and has a three-bay front with the door on the right side and two dormers. These houses, along with Nos 18, 37, 43, 45, and all the listed buildings on the southeast side from Nos 19 to 46, form a cohesive group.
