Description
The building comprises four houses, originally known as Bromley Terrace, dating to approximately 1860-1870, with later 19th-century additions. The terrace consists of three houses to the left (numbers 30-34) and a matching house projecting forward to the right (number 28). The external appearance is of red brick with limestone ashlar dressings to the front, coursed squared limestone to the sides, and coursed squared limestone rubble and brick to the rear. The roofs are tiled with blue fish scale clay tiles on the left-hand side (numbers 30-34), similar red tiles on the right (number 28), and plain clay tiles to the rear, except for number 30 which has a front-matching tile finish. There are five brick chimney stacks with ashlar dressings, largely retaining 19th-century clay pots with moulded tops and faceted corners.
The three-storey, twelve-window front features twelve 6/6-pane sash windows on the first floor, set within ashlar surrounds with keyed lintels and stone cills, and a similar arrangement on the second floor. The ground floor contains eight sash windows and four doors consisting of six flush panels with single-pane overlights, all within matching surrounds. The façade includes an ashlar plinth and band courses above the first and second floors, with flush quoins at the left and right angles.
Attached brick walls, approximately 2 metres high, feature ashlar copings. The wall to the far right (number 28) has been rebuilt in reconstituted stone and terminates in ashlar piers, also approximately 2 metres high, with recessed round-headed panels to the sides and pedimented caps.
The interiors have not been inspected. A mapping survey from 1875 (first edition 25-inch Ordnance Survey) provides historical context.
