49 AND 51, CHISWICK STREET (See details for further address information)

Three houses, now divided into four, were built in the late 1850s or early 1860s. They are located on Chiswick Street and include numbers 1 and 1A Hartington Place. The houses are constructed of Flemish bond brickwork, with a chamfered plinth. The dressings are of calciferous sandstone, partly painted, with raised stone quoins on each angle and stone-bracketed metal gutters. They have a common Welsh slate roof, hipped at the corner, and original brick chimney stacks, some on the front slope and one at the rear.

Number 49 has two bays and number 51 has three bays, with a canted angle bay and a single-bay return on Hartington Place. Number 1A has two bays and number 1 Hartington Place has three bays. The three-bay houses have central panelled doors and overlights within Tuscan porches, approached by steps. Number 49 has a similar doorway on its right side. Sash windows are mostly fitted with glazing bars on the upper floors, within stone architraves on Chiswick Street and the angle, but in brick reveals on Hartington Place, with stone sills and flat brick arches. The interiors have not been inspected. These houses do not appear on Asquith’s survey of Carlisle from 1853, but are shown on the 1865 Ordnance Survey map.
