47, 49 AND 51, DYER STREET

Three houses at numbers 47, 49, and 51 Dyer Street, Cirencester, now used as flats, a dental surgery, and a shop, were built in 1889 for the Bathurst estate. They are constructed from coursed squared limestone, with stone slate roofing to the left-hand side (number 47) and artificial stone slates to the centre and right (numbers 49 and 51). Large stone ridge stacks are present at the centre and right end of the building.

The design is in a revived Cotswold vernacular style, with three gables facing the street, and a shared through passage to the rear, positioned towards the centre right. The building is two storeys and an attic, with a three-window frontage. The first floor has three oriel windows, each with a four-light canted bay. These have ovolo-moulded mullions and transoms, likely made of stone, with leaded upper lights. The bases of the oriels are rendered, and dentil cornices extend over the windows, topped with flat lead roofs. In the gables above, there are three three-light stone mullion windows, with hoodmoulds, and retaining leaded lights to the left (number 47) and in one light to the centre (number 49); the right-hand gable (number 51) has plastic windows. Above the three-light windows are three oval leaded windows within moulded stone surrounds with curved dripmoulds.

The ground floor features two three-light stone mullion-and-transom windows with leaded upper lights to the left and centre (numbers 47 and 49). A six-panel door, with the upper two panels glazed, is set within a moulded stone surround to the left (number 47), while a 20th century glazed door is present in a similar surround to the centre (number 49). A 20th century plate glass shopfront with a glazed door occupies the frontage on the right (number 51). The entrance to the through passage on the right-hand side has a wrought-iron gate set within a moulded stone surround with a four-centred arched head. A moulded string course above the ground floor rises over the passage entrance to enclose a stone shield displaying the inscription "1889 REBUILT". Flush quoins mark the left and right angles. Four square section iron rainwater pipes are fitted, complete with moulded hopper heads. The interiors have not been inspected.
