Numbers 3 And 4 And Attached Walls And Piers

A pair of attached houses, dating to 1865 and designed by WH Hawtin. They are constructed of limestone ashlar with ridge stacks and a concrete tile hipped roof. The houses have a double-depth plan and are built in an Italianate style. Each house is two storeys and an attic in height, with a two-window range. The ends of the pair are set forward, featuring single-storey porches on the returns. The ground floor is banded to a moulded band, and the building has a first-floor sill band, frieze, cornice, and a full attic storey to overhanging eaves. The porches have semicircular-arched doorways with keys and imposts, plate-glass fanlights, and two-panel doors. Canted bays are present at the ends, with semicircular-arched windows featuring keys and imposts, thin hoods curled up at the ends, and paired brackets to the cornice, which is arched over the middle. Balustrades made of circles and half-circles adorn the canted bays. Ground and first-floor windows have architraves and sill blocks: semicircular-arched inner ground-floor windows, segmental above, tripartite to the outside with ears and a segmental hood over the middle one. The attic windows are similar, flat-headed with raised surrounds, and contain 2/2-pane sashes. The interior remains uninspected. Associated features include attached front garden balustrades and panelled, capped piers. The houses are part of a group of seven matching properties, four of which differ by having projecting middles rather than ends.
