Description

Nos 20-34 (even) and No 36, known as The Lansdown Arms Public House, form a terrace built in the early 19th century. The buildings are constructed of grey brick headers with red brick quoins and dressings. They feature a deep flat wooden eaves cornice beneath a slate roof, which has nine brick lateral ridge stacks positioned to the right of each house, except for No 36, which has its stack on the left. There is a single flat-headed dormer over No 30.

The terrace is three storeys high, with each house having a single window front, creating a nine-window terrace. Each house is separated by a thin red brick quoin. The windows are glazing bar sashes set in red brick dressed surrounds with gauged heads, with the second-floor windows being shallower than those below. Arched red brick dressed doorways are located to the left on Nos 22-30 and to the right on No 20; all doors are panelled except for No 24, which has a half-glazed door.

No 32 features a 20th-century double shop front on the ground floor with an inset central glazed door, while No 34 has a 20th-century single shop front with a glazed door inset to the left.

No 36, The Lansdown Arms Public House, has an additional window on the corner of the terrace with a curved profile and a further bay facing Station Road. The ground floor includes two plain public house-type windows, half-glazed doors on Lansdown Place and Station Road, and doubled half-glazed doors at the corner of the terrace.
