Description

A pair of semi-detached houses located on Oxford Street, built between 1823 and 1825 as part of a development for John Bowyer, an attorney. The houses were later altered in the 19th century. They are constructed of brick, which has been rendered and given a 20th-century Tyrolean finish. The roofs are slate, with boxed eaves, and there are two stuccoed chimney stacks. The houses mirror each other, with porch entrances set back from the front, and wings extending to the rear.

The front elevation is symmetrical, with three storeys. Each house has two sashes on each floor. The ground floor sashes have been replaced with horned sashes incorporating a horizontal glazing bar in the lower sashes. The first floor windows are tall sashes, and the second floor windows are shorter. All the sashes retain glazing bars (3x4 panes on the first floor, 3x3 panes on the second floor) and have projecting stone sills. A single-storey porch to the side of number 29, featuring a parapet supporting a 20th-century timber-framed and glazed conservatory, has a semicircular arched doorway with stone steps leading to a dripmould above the 20th-century glazed door and fanlight.

The interior of the houses was not inspected during the listing process.
