Number 38, 39 And 40 And Attached Walls And Gate Piers

Numbers 38, 39, and 40 are a terrace of two houses and a shop with a flat above, built in the mid-19th century. The buildings are constructed of limestone ashlar and feature a hipped slate roof with moulded ashlar stacks at the party walls. The terrace has a double-depth plan and is two storeys high with a seven-window range.

A continuous moulded string course creates hoods on brackets over the two right-hand houses, with bracketed sills on the first floor and pilasters at the corners and between the party walls. Number 38, on the right, has a two-window range with margin panes in the plate-glass sash windows and a door featuring two vertical semicircular-arched glazed panels and an overlight. Number 39, in the center, is similar but has 20th-century windows and a door. Number 40, on the left, has a three-window range. Below the two left-hand windows, there is a projecting shop front with a parapet that has urn finials at the corners. A former carriage entrance to the right of the shop has been filled in with another shop.

The front gardens of numbers 38 and 39 are enclosed by ashlar walls and pyramidal-capped piers. This terrace is part of a group of houses built on New Road following the arrival of the railway in 1840-41.
