Nos 35 And 36 Including Gateway Adjoining To North

A pair of houses, built in the mid-19th century, possibly incorporating earlier fabric. They are constructed from a mix of stone rubble and timber framing, with the front plastered and the right (north) side having slate-hung cladding above the ground floor. The houses have end stacks with rendered chimney shafts and old pots, and a hipped slate roof.

The plan is of a pair of contemporary, modestly sized houses—each one room wide and one room deep—with lower rear service blocks. The front is symmetrical, with three windows. A shared doorway in the centre has a moulded cornice. The doorways have mid-19th century four-panel doors, with the top panels glazed and the bottom panels having vertical mouldings. Most windows are horned 12-pane sashes, with a single replacement 4-pane sash being the only exception. Front and side windows of the two first-floor canted bays, and the flat-roofed front dormers, are also original. Deep eaves have a plastered soffit supported by shaped timber brackets. The right-side wall juts out at first-floor level, overhanging the side passage. This slate-hung wall above ground has a small 12-pane sash window to the rear and a flat-roofed dormer with a 4/8-pane sash.

The interior of the first-floor room in No. 36 was inspected and shows mainly 20th-century modernization, aside from a straight-flight staircase rising from a small entrance lobby. The rear service block at this level is open to the roof, revealing king post trusses of slender scantling. Surviving 19th-century joinery and other details may be present elsewhere.

A mid-19th century gate is located in the side passage to the right (north) of No. 35. It’s made of wood with a boarded lower panel and an open top panel, containing iron spear-headed rails, alternately short and tall.
