Description
The building comprises a semi-detached pair of houses at 12 and 13 Courtenay Park Road, built in the mid-19th century. They are part of the Courtenay Park development, which was laid out in 1854. The houses are constructed from painted roughcast, with stone dressings and a continuous slate roof. They have gabled dormers and moulded stacks to both the party wall and the gable ends.
The architectural style is Tudor Gothic. Number 12 is an L-plan, with a rear wing, while Number 13 has a double-depth plan. The facade is asymmetrical. Number 12 has a three-window range, while Number 13 has a two-window range, both featuring label moulds over two-light or three-light cross windows. Features include a canted bay to the left, a narrow gabled porch set at an angle with a large canted and hipped-roofed bay, and a projecting gable on the right with a castellated bay window. Number 12 has a square, three-storey gabled porch/stair turret in the angle, with a finial, pendant, and a plain bargeboard over a single-light window on the second floor, a two-light window on the first floor, and a pointed-arched doorcase with head stops to the hoodmould. A later 19th-century rectangular bay has been added to the ground floor to the left, with a two-light window and a hipped roof featuring a cast-iron crest forming a window box. A large canted bay to the right has a pointed hipped roof with a window to each facet and a fretted bargeboard over a two-light dormer. To the right of Number 13, a stepped-forward gable has fretted bargeboards, a 20th-century attic window, and a three-light timber-mullioned and transomed window to the first floor above a similar window set in a castelled rectangular bay to the ground floor. A gabled porch is located on the right return. The left-hand range adjoining Number 12 has a two-light cross window to both floors. The interior was not inspected.
