25, 26 AND 27, WESLEY STREET

25, 26, and 27 Wesley Street are three houses located at the end of a terrace in Weymouth, built in the early to mid 19th century. They feature Flemish bond brickwork and slate roofs, with mansard slopes only at the rear. Each house has three storeys and one window. The windows consist of 12-pane sashes set in reveals above bold canted sash oriels with 2:6:2 panes, and 12-pane sashes on the ground floor. Each house has a flush stone flat elliptical arch above a shallow fanlight, with the original six-panel door still present only at No. 25. The houses have a small stone plinth, a mid-level stone plat band, and a second-floor sill band, along with a ridge stack on each right party wall.

At the rear, No. 26 has a concrete tile roof and is two storeys plus a dormer, featuring a 4-pane sash in No. 27 and large 20th-century steel casements in the other two houses. On the first floor, No. 25 has a 4-pane window, No. 26 has two 20th-century casements, and No. 27 has a 12-pane sash. Although these houses are consistent in detail with Nos. 14-24, they were likely built as the first three in the terrace, just before the others. They contribute to the character of the street, which reflects the Melcombe Regis terrace tradition, and, along with the opposite side of the street and parallel Bath Street, represent an interesting survival of early 19th-century speculative development. The interior has not been inspected.
