Description

Hereford, Harley, Sutherland, and Glendower Houses are a terrace of four houses built around 1760. They are constructed from limestone ashlar and feature party wall stacks and a hipped slate mansard roof. The houses are designed in a mid Georgian style, each with three storeys, an attic, and a basement, arranged in a three-window range. The façade is enhanced by rusticated pilaster strips leading to a cornice, with a parapet that includes balustrade sections over the windows and a rusticated ground floor above a plat band.

Glendower House has a right-hand entrance section that is set back and features a 20th-century glazed porch, along with a mid-19th-century doorway in the left-hand window. Hereford House includes a mid-19th-century left-hand one-window extension, with right-hand doorways that have Gibbs surrounds featuring split keys and bracketed pediments, along with plate-glass overlights and six-panel doors. Sutherland House has a door with two oval panels.

The ground-floor windows display incised voussoirs, while the upper windows of the right-hand pair have architraves, mostly with plate-glass sashes, and the second floor of Harley House has six-over-six pane sashes. Hereford House features mid-19th-century bays with mullions and transoms, with a two-light window to the right and a three-light window to the left, and upper tripartite windows to the left extension, with late 20th-century windows on the second floor. There is a full-width attic dormer on Hereford, while the other houses have two dormers. Glendower House includes a basement doorway on the right return and a right-hand tripartite ground-floor window with a console cornice.

The interiors have not been inspected. Notable subsidiary features include attached piers with weathered caps and rubble walls with balustrades of circles and stars at Glendower and Sutherland. Harley House has banded piers and ashlar walls in the front garden and basement area, while Hereford House has quadrant walls attached to the front doorway leading to a flagged front area.
