Numbers 5 And 6 And Attached Wall And Piers

A pair of attached houses, numbers 5 and 6 Cambridge Park, were built in 1865 by WH Hawtin. They are constructed of limestone ashlar with ridge stacks and a concrete tile hipped roof. The houses follow a double-depth plan and are designed in an Italianate style. Each house is two storeys high with an attic, and has a two-window front. The houses are symmetrical, with the central section projected forward and single-storey porches on the returns. The ground floor is banded up to a moulded band, with a first-floor sill band, frieze, and cornice, topped by a full attic storey beneath overhanging eaves. The porches have semicircular-arched doorways with keys and impost blocks, plate-glass fanlights, and two-panel doors. Canted bays are located in the central section, featuring semicircular-arched windows with keys and imposts, thin hoods curling up at the ends, and paired brackets supporting an arched cornice. Balustrades with circular and half-circular motifs are present. Ground- and first-floor windows feature architraves and sill blocks; the ground floor windows are semicircular-arched externally, with segmental arches above. The central windows are tripartite with ears and a segmental hood; the attic windows are flat-headed with raised surrounds. All windows have 2/2-pane sashes. The interior remains uninspected. The property includes attached front garden balustrades and panelled piers with caps. Numbers 5 and 6 are part of a group of seven identical houses, three of which have projecting wings instead of a central projection.
