Description

A terrace of four houses on Trafalgar Row, built in 1818. The houses are constructed of dressed Killas stone with brick arches. The roofs are a mix of materials: asbestos slate on numbers 12 and 13, dry Delabole slate on number 14, and grouted scantle slate on number 15. The houses have brick stacks dividing the party walls and at the gable ends, including the return at the right-hand side. They feature cast-iron ogee gutters on numbers 12 and 13. The design incorporates double-depth plans and presents an 8-window, two-storey facade. A mid-floor string runs along the elevation, with keyed round arches above the doorways and keyed segmental arches over the windows. Original panelled doors are present at numbers 13 and 14, with a spoked fanlight above the door at number 14. The windows are largely original sashes with glazing bars, though some have been replaced with later sashes and C20 doors. The interiors have not been inspected. One of the houses was briefly the home of the architect Philip Sambell, who designed the Church of St John, Lemon Street, and various other houses in Truro during the early 19th century.
