Description

Nos 46 and 47 on the Forthampton Estate are semi-detached estate houses built around 1865, likely designed by William Burges for James Yorke. They are constructed of red brick featuring decorative grey brick diamond patterns and have limestone window surrounds. The roofs are covered with red fishscale tiles and include a brick chimney stack.

The houses have a rectangular plan and are two stories high, displaying a symmetrical four-windowed facade with a central gable. All windows are stone-mullioned casements with one, two, and three lights, featuring glazing bars and blind ogee curved trefoil-headed lights. There are segmental relieving arches in grey brick above the three-light windows, and a grey brick string course runs below the sills of the first-floor windows.

The gable ends feature pointed plank doors set within pointed flat-chamfered brick surrounds. A single-pitched tiled canopy, supported by wooden brackets, is located over the door on the left gable end, while a part-glazed 20th-century porch is in front of the door on the right gable end. There are single light windows on either side of the door, similar to those on the front elevation, and a small open quatrefoil is positioned towards the apex of the ridge.

The roof has a wide overhang supported by curved wooden brackets that rise from the string course. Simple carved bargeboards form a trefoil shape on the forward-facing gable, and the decorative ridge tiling is cusped. The central chimney stack features dentil decoration and projecting courses of grey brick. The interior has not been inspected.
