Description
Morehead Terrace is a terrace of four cottages located on Whitby Road in Easington, dating from the early to mid-19th century. The cottages are constructed of dressed sandstone and feature Welsh slate roofs, although No. 5 has late 20th-century concrete tiles. The buildings have stone ridge copings and Nos. 4 to 6 face Grinkle Lane.
The terrace is two storeys high with four windows and has a deep plinth. The windows are chamfered mullioned two-light designs with sashes that include glazing bars, except for a late 20th-century top-hung casement window on the ground floor right. Ground-floor windows have hoodmoulds, and there are two small square openings between the second and third bays that now contain single-pane casements. The roof is hipped at the right end, and there are two ridge stacks.
The gable end of No. 3 also faces Grinkle Lane and features a similar mullioned window with a hoodmould on each floor. An early 20th-century cast metal street nameplate is attached to the left side on the first floor. The entrance front of No. 3 faces Whitby Road and has three windows, a central six-panel door with an overlight, and mid-20th-century casement windows in the original openings. A smaller window was inserted above the door in the mid-20th century, and there is a stack at the right end. The rear of Nos. 4 to 6 displays a continuous pent outshut, while a mid-20th-century porch at No. 3 is not of interest. No. 3 is included for its group value.
