Description
Nos 45 and 47 Temple End are two houses from the first half of the 18th century, which may have originally been a single residence. They feature plum-colored brickwork with red brick dressings and stand two storeys tall with attics. The building has a moulded plinth, a moulded string course at the first-floor level, and a modillion and moulded cornice at the roof. Brick pilasters mark the corners, and the roof is hipped with old tiles.
The front is eight bays wide, with segmentally headed flush sash windows that include glazing bars. There are two doors, each with six panels. The door in the second bay from the left has fielded panels and an architrave surround with panelled pilasters, supported by boldly carved scroll brackets that hold up a cornice and segmental pediment, with a pulvinated frieze between the brackets. The second door, located in the fourth bay from the right, features an architrave surround under cut brackets and a delicate dentil cornice hood.
Above, there are three dormers with pediments, the central one having a segmental pediment. At the back, there is an irregular northwest wing made of flint rubble and red bricks, topped with an elaborately bracketed dentil cornice, dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. Nos 43 to 47 form a group.
