Description
Dating to the 1790s, 19 and 20 The Halve are a pair of three-story houses with an attic and basement. They are constructed of brick on a stone base, with stone strings delineating the first and second-floor sill levels. Stone quoins define the corners, and a stone frieze and cornice run along the top of the facade, surmounted by a stone parapet with moulded coping. The roof is a Mansard style, with a mix of pantile and slate coverings, incorporating two dormers with 19th-century windows.
The upper floors feature coupled sash windows with glazing bars, set within plain stone surrounds that have beaded inner edges. The ground floor has two similar sash windows, stone cills, and a central doorway consisting of two six-panel doors, the upper panels glazed. The door is framed by a stone surround and a combination doorcase featuring three Doric pilasters, a broken entablature with a fluted frieze, and a moulded open pediment. A double flight of steps, with six steps on one side and seven on the other, leads up to the front entrance, flanked by cast iron guard rails. A stone-flagged path extends to the front of the building. Number 19 has a decorative wreath and mask knocker.
The buildings are set within a group context with numbers 13 and 14, and numbers 17 to 21.
