18-21, Prospect Place

Prospect Place consists of four terrace houses, numbered 18 to 21, which step downhill from No. 18 on the left. These houses were built in the mid to late 19th century. They are made of coursed limestone rubble with freestone architraves and feature pantile roofs with moulded stacks on coped party walls and gable ends. Each house has a double depth plan with rear additions.

The exterior of the houses is two storeys high, with each house having a two-window range. The first floors have two-over-two pane sash windows, while the ground floor of No. 21 on the right also features two-over-two pane sash windows. Nos. 18 to 20 have paired plate glass sash windows on the ground floor and 20th-century doors, except for No. 20, which retains a 19th-century four-panel door with a hood supported by wrought iron scroll brackets. No. 21 is wider and possibly built later, with larger stones to the right of the vertical joint next to the right-of-centre door. The lintel of No. 21 is carved with "HOPE COTTAGE," and there is a cast iron ornamental pediment above the lintel with the date 1876 inscribed on it.

These houses are positioned at right angles to Nos. 12 to 17, which form a similar mid-19th century row of stepped two-storey cottages, also with two windows on the first floor and coupled sashes on the ground floor. No. 21 features two windows on both floors, rusticated quoins, and door and window surrounds. Additionally, No. 21 has cast iron cresting over the door, also dated 1876. The group of houses, Nos. 12 to 21, is included for its group interest. The interiors have not been inspected.
