1-13, Richmond Place

This is a row of terrace houses dating from the early 19th century. The properties are constructed of limestone ashlar, although Nos 1 and 2 have a painted ground floor, and Nos 4, 6, and Nos 9-13 are rendered and painted. They have Welsh slate roofs. The houses generally have a double-depth plan with entrances on the right, although No. 1 is an exception. Most are two storeys high, but Nos 8-10 have a two-storey and attic arrangement, and Nos 3 and 7 are three storeys. Most houses have two windows to the front, with Nos 8 and 9 featuring paired windows.

No. 1 has an added solid porch and six/six sash windows. No. 2 features a modern glazed door and eight/eight and six/six sashes. A continuous sill band is present at first-floor level, although lower on No. 2. A cornice, lower on No. 2, and a parapet complete the exterior, with a hipped roof on No. 1 and a shared ashlar stack. No. 3 has been heightened and altered in the late 19th century, with an added two-storey canted bay and a full attic storey. These bay windows have two/two sashes above the ground floor. No. 7, the Richmond Arms Public House, has been heightened and has a canted bay to the ground floor. First-floor windows have horizontal glazing bars, with a painted panel between the windows displaying the arms of the Dukes of Richmond and a painted frieze at the second-floor level displaying the pub’s name. No. 8 has paired plain sashes separated by a stone mullion with stop-chamfered reveals and has a steeply pitched mansard roof with a large, flat-topped dormer window. Nos 9 and 10 share a common cornice and parapet line, each with a mansard roof, but different paired dormers—plain on No. 9 and six/six on No. 10. No. 9 has paired six/six sashes with a stone mullion, while No. 10 has separate six/six sashes and a stack to the left of the ridge. No. 11 has six/six sashes and a lower cornice and parapet line, and No. 12 has four/four sashes. No. 13 has six/six sashes and a panelled door with a flat hood on brackets. The rear elevations are not visible.

Front walls are punctuated by pyramid-capped gate piers. The interior of the houses has not been inspected, with the exception of the Richmond Arms Public House at No. 7, where considerable alterations have been made, and only some double doors and a cupboard remain.
