Nos 45-51 (Odd) Including Screen Walls, Oubuilding And Courtyard Wall

This is a group of villas, screen walls, an outbuilding, and a courtyard wall dating to approximately 1830 to 1865, with later 20th-century alterations. The buildings are constructed of rendered material, with slate roofs and stacks featuring rendered shafts with platbands.

The group consists of villas arranged around a walled courtyard, extending beyond the courtyard itself, and includes a former stable block. The elevation facing Lower Polsham Road presents a three-window facade at number 49, with a courtyard wall to the right containing a central segmental-headed archway. Number 49 has what are probably 20th-century ground floor windows, a three-light casement, and a two-pane sash window above. The courtyard wall is gabled above the archway and includes a doorway to the left; modern garage doors have been inserted on the right.

The front elevation of number 49 features a projecting three-story entrance tower with eaves banding, a platband, and a moulded arched doorway with a panelled door and hoodmould. The tower is glazed with twelve-pane sashes. The bays to either side of the tower have been altered but retain some 19th-century small-pane sash windows. Number 47 is three stories high and has 19th-century small-pane sash windows and a glazed verandah across the front. A screen wall at the rear of the courtyard is gabled above a moulded archway with round-headed mouldings to the left and right, above later lean-to buildings.

The interior of the buildings was inaccessible at the time of the survey, but may contain features of interest. Group Value is attributed to the setting and architectural coherence of the various components.
