Grove Hill Penlee

Grove Hill Penlee consists of three adjoining houses, originally built as a pair in the early 19th century. The front is red brick over a rubble base; the side walls are rendered, and the roof is hipped with scantle slate tiles, featuring a brick chimney over the left side wall and a brick axial chimney over the central party wall.

The houses were initially designed as two identical properties, each with two rooms and a double depth, incorporating a central staircase. Subsequently, the left-hand house was converted into two separate dwellings, likely in the 19th century. The site is situated on a steep slope, with a basement beneath the left-hand house.

The houses are two storeys high, with converted attics. Each front has three windows. There are paired doorways to the left-hand houses, with an original central doorway to the right-hand house, all with hoods above. The windows are 16-pane sashes set within original openings, with granite sills and cambered brick arches featuring granite keystones. A flat-roofed roof dormer is present on the second house (Penlee), and two earlier hipped roof dormers with 20th-century PVC windows are on the right-hand house (No. 5). The interiors have not been inspected.

Raised pavements extend to the front, leading to round-arched doorways providing access to the basements of the left-hand houses. 20th-century iron railings are also present.
