Description
A terrace of fifteen small houses was built in the mid-19th century. The houses are constructed with stucco facing onto a rubble core, with scantle slate roofs to numbers 2, 6, 7, and 10, dry slate to number 9, and asbestos slate elsewhere. The roofs are hipped at the ends of the terrace, featuring brick stacks over the party walls, both front and rear. Cast-iron ogee gutters are present on numbers 6 to 8 and 10 to 15, with a moulded gutter on paired brackets at number 4. The houses have a double-depth plan with rear service wings set at right angles. They are two storeys high and have an overall 30-window range, with doorways flanked by two-storey projecting oriels featuring panelled quadrant pilasters. The original hornless sash windows retain glazing bars. A wooden arcaded verandah with a tented lead roof runs along the front of the ground floor, with some areas later infilled with glazing. Tripartite doorways have original three-panel doors, though some have been replaced or have been fitted with top glazing; numbers 1, 10, and 13 have later doors. The left-hand return of number 15 has oriel windows mirroring the front. A rear wing to number 1 is three windows wide with original 12-pane hornless sashes. The rear elevation features many original sashes, a number with horizontal panes. Later 19th-century hipped canted dormers are visible on numbers 3, 5, and 10 to 13, with gabled dormers incorporating shaped and pierced bargeboards on numbers 1 and 2. The rear has original hipped dormers except on numbers 13 and 15. Original 12-pane hornless sashes are present throughout the rear elevation, excluding those on numbers 13 and 15; number 7 has a hipped stair dormer with a sash window incorporating margin panes and coloured glass. The interior remains uninspected, but is likely to be of interest. The property includes segmental granite-coped rubble forecourt garden walls, and original wrought-iron railings to numbers 8, 10, 11 and 14. Additionally, a high rubble garden wall with scantle slate coping and red clay ridge tiles borders the right side of the rear garden of number 1, as well as a section of a similar wall running parallel to the rear.
