Numbers 1 And 2 And Attached Walls And Piers

A pair of attached houses dating from 1865, designed by WH Hawtin. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar with ridge stacks and a concrete tile hipped roof. They are built on a double-depth plan and are in the Italianate style.

Each house is two storeys and an attic, with a two-window front. A symmetrical arrangement features the centre set forward, with single-storey porches on the returns. The ground floor is banded and features a moulded band, while a first-floor sill band, frieze, and cornice top the design. A full attic storey projects from overhanging eaves. The porches have semicircular-arched doorways with keys and impost stones, plate-glass fanlights, and two-panel doors; a 20th-century stair block has been added to No.2. Canted bays are present in the centre of each house, featuring semicircular-arched windows with keys and impost stones, thin hoods curled at the ends, and paired brackets to the cornice, which is arched over the middle balustrade of circles and half-circles. The ground- and first-floor windows have architraves and sill blocks, with semicircular-arched outer ground-floor windows, segmental arches above, and tripartite windows in the centre, each with ears and a segmental hood. The attic windows are flat-headed, with raised surrounds; all windows are 2/2-pane sashes. The interior remains uninspected.

Attached to the front are balustrades and panelled, capped piers. The houses are part of a group of seven matching houses, three of which have projecting wings instead of central sections.
