Description
A symmetrical pair of houses, Trafalgar House and Ormond Lodge, dates to around 1810. They are now subdivided into flats. The buildings are constructed of limestone ashlar and rubblestone, with a slate mansard roof that has dormers and decorative stacks on the central party wall.
The street facade is of rubblestone with freestone dressings, and has six-pane sash windows on each floor, along with similar stair windows between the ground and first floors. The garden front is symmetrical with three windows and features a lintel frieze, sill bands and blind windows at the centre of the upper floors. The second floor has six-pane sash windows. The first floor contains six-pane sashes with some crown glass, surrounded by margin panes, while the ground floor has French windows with margin panes and diagonal glazing bars to the overlights. The front and rear have coped parapets that rise over the gable ends with slightly returned cornices.
No. 29, Trafalgar House, has a late 19th-century door in the left return, featuring two rows of three bolection moulded panels and a cast iron ringed knocker; it formerly had a swept canopy. No. 30, Ormond Lodge, has a horizontal oval window to the left-of-centre of the first floor of the garden front. A two-storey right wing has six-pane sash windows on each floor. The interiors are believed to have been extensively altered.
