21-29, WEST STREET

This is a terrace of four houses, with a fifth house adjoining the return front to the right, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, with number 29 possibly from the mid-19th century. The houses have rendered frontages, likely timber-framed construction, with a solid rear wall to the right, except for the front section. The roofs are slate, with a hipped design to the right. Brick chimneys are present, and house number 29 has a rendered chimney on its front wall.

The houses are three storeys high. Numbers 21 to 27 each have one window across their front, while the side wall of number 27 and the front of number 29 have a combined front of five windows. Number 21 has a late 20th-century shop front, with two-paned sash windows above in moulded flush frames. Numbers 23 and 25 each have a doorway to the right of the ground floor, featuring reeded pilasters that support an entablature running across both frontages. These doorways have panelled reveals; number 23 has a six-panelled door with a patterned fanlight. Both numbers 23 and 25 also feature eight-paned sash windows on all three floors. Number 27 has a late 20th-century shop front and a doorway in its side wall, with a flat hood supported by long, shaped brackets. The upper-storey windows on the front and above the side door of number 27 have sashes with a three-over-six pane configuration. A bracketed eaves cornice runs across the entire terrace and extends one bay along the side wall. The remainder of the side wall at numbers 27 and 29 has two-light wood casements with two panes per light, as well as two ground-floor windows with eight-paned sashes and two canted bay windows on the second floor. Number 29 has a four-panelled door, with the two lower panels being flush, and a cornice supported by consoles.

The terrace is situated in an important position adjacent to the church of St Andrew.
