Description
This pair of mid- to late 19th-century houses, currently arranged as four flats, is located in Lowbourne. The front facades are constructed of ashlar stone with stone rubble sides and rear, all under a hipped slate roof. The houses have axial ashlar stacks with moulded capping and brick stacks to the rear. 15 Lowbourne retains timber sash windows, while those on the front elevation of 13 Lowbourne have been replaced with uPVC. Later additions to the rear are made of stone rubble, brick, and timber.
The houses are set back from the roadside and each is two storeys high. They are in a simplified classical style, with a stone plinth to 13 Lowbourne and deep eaves to the hipped roof. The east elevation of 13 Lowbourne is symmetrical, with rusticated quoins and a central six-panelled door topped with a fanlight featuring cast-iron fleur-de-lys ribs within a rusticated surround and a round-arched head with rusticated voussoirs. Flanking the door are windows recessed within panels. Above, three windows have stone sills. 15 Lowbourne has a projecting two-bay design, featuring a later timber and stone enclosed porch with 20th-century doors. To the right of the porch is a large casement window with margin lights and a vermiculated keystone. The first floor has two six-over-six sash windows also with vermiculated keystones. The left side of the building is blank. Rear additions span single and two storeys, constructed from a variety of materials and window types, including a horned sash, a round-headed window with ogee-shaped glazing bars and margin lights of coloured glass, and modern uPVC.
Despite having been converted into two apartments per house, and with the rear additions, the interior layouts largely retain their original arrangement. 13 Lowbourne features a central staircase with turned newels, stick balusters, and a ramped handrail, along with some mid- to late-19th-century four- and six-panel doors. One ground-floor room contains a 1930s fireplace with a tiled inset, a timber surround, and an overmantel. 15 Lowbourne also retains some mid- to late-19th-century doors and a similar staircase, although the balusters to the flight are missing but are present on the galleried landing. Modern internal finishes are present in both houses.
A stone rubble wall fronts the houses, containing pedestrian entrances for each, with stone gate piers topped by pyramidal capping stones.
