134, Stop Street

A pair of estate cottages, now combined into a single house, was built in 1853, as indicated by a datestone on the south side. The cottages are constructed from Flemish garden wall bond brick with limestone dressings, and have a tiled roof with decorative fishscale tile bands. Brick stacks rise from the roof. The building is single-storey with an attic, and has four windows facing the street. The entrances are at the rear, with planked doors to the left and right. To the left of each door is a two-light cast-iron latticed casement window, hooded above. The central section features two three-light cast-iron latticed casement windows, also hooded. The 1853 datestone is centrally positioned. Four gabled attic dormers are present, each containing two-light casement windows, mostly cast-iron latticed with some wooden frames. Single-light casements are found in the side returns. The rear elevation, facing the road, has one single-light cast-iron casement window with a hoodmould on each side, and two gabled dormers with single-light cast-iron casements. The interior retains its original joinery. These cottages were part of a group of five pairs built for the Marquess of Westminster, each pair with a slightly different design.
