Description

St Brenda’s Court is a pair of attached houses dating from the mid-19th century. The buildings are constructed of limestone ashlar and render, with a hidden roof. They follow a double-depth plan and are built in a muted Tudor Gothic Revival style. Each house has two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a five-window facade.

The symmetrical front elevation features wide, projecting, full-height three-light canted bays. A shallow buttress is located on the party wall. Other architectural details include drip moulds and sill bands to the first floor, a hollow moulded cornice, and a moulded parapet coping adorned with Tudor flowers. Single-storey porches are positioned in front of the end blocks, sheltering elliptical-arched doorways with moulded surrounds, label moulds and moulded spandrels, leading to six-panel doors with overlights. Slim, attached columns with carved tops mark the corners of the bays. Windows have elliptical-arched heads and chamfered surrounds. The ground-floor bays have French windows, with cast-iron balustrades forming balconies. The middle windows feature panelled mullions, while the ground floor has casements, and the upper windows are 4-pane sashes. Basement windows are of a similar style. The interior was not inspected during the listing process.

Attached to the building are fleur-de-lys headed basement area railings, and octagonal entrance piers with coped caps, which contribute to the building's group value.
