122 AND 123, PILTON STREET

122 and 123 Pilton Street are a pair of houses built in the late 1880s. They are constructed from yellow brick with natural slate roofs and feature stacks with yellow brick shafts and old pots. Number 122 is accessed from the left side, while Number 123 has its entrance facing the street. These houses are likely part of a larger building project that includes the nearby terrace of Nos. 112-121, but they stand apart and are more impressive in scale and detail.

The houses are two stories tall with an asymmetrical four-bay front that is slightly recessed in the center. They have a corbelled cornice made of moulded bricks and a platband at the first-floor cill level. Number 122, on the left, features an octagonal tower topped with a steep pyramidal roof. Its entrance is on the left side and includes an open porch with a hipped slate roof supported by moulded timber posts. The tower has narrow three-pane windows, and the first-floor window above the porch is a two-pane sash with margin panes. To the right of the main range, there is a shallow canted bay window on the ground floor, which is glazed with high-transomed windows that have moulded mullions, and there are two-pane sashes above.

Number 123 is set back to the right and has a trellis porch with a front door flanked by sidelights, and a two-pane sash window above. The central section of this house has two ground-floor two-pane sashes with margin panes and moulded lintels. There is a prominent first-floor oriel bay window with rounded corners, featuring mullioned and transomed windows with panels below. The original gabled dormer has decorative barge-boards and a balustraded section beneath the gable, with the dormer itself glazed with a pair of two-pane sashes. The interior has not been inspected, but the houses are included for their group value.
