Numbers 60, 61 And Two Left Hand Bays Of Number 62

Numbers 60, 61, and the two left-hand bays of number 62 comprise three late 18th-century houses, later altered and now used as a dental practice, office, and part of a showroom. The houses are constructed of brown/grey brick in Flemish bond, with a Welsh slate roof.

The main west-facing elevation is three storeys high and six bays wide, with two bays per house. The second and fourth bays feature 19th-century round-arched doorcases, each with a six-panelled door surmounted by a fanlight with lobate glazing. The doorcases are supported by Tuscan pilasters carrying friezes and cornices. Canted bay windows with four-pane sashes and lead roofs are set into the ground floor to the left of each doorway. A 20th-century shop front extends across the ground floor to the right, but is not of special interest. First and second-floor windows are smaller on the second floor and have flat arches. The windows in bays one and two (number 60) are late 20th-century casements. Bays three and four (number 61) contain 16-pane sashes on the first floor and flush exposed sash boxes to the second floor. Bays five and six (part of number 62) are fitted with sash windows and 12-pane unequally hung sashes on the second floor. A decorative lead rainwater pipe and hopper head are located on the left side, along with a moulded gutter. The roof features ashlar coping and ridge chimneystacks are positioned to the left of each pair of bays. The rear east-facing elevation presents a mix of unhorned sashes, 20th-century casements, and Yorkshire sliding sash windows.

The interior of number 60 includes a centrally placed dog-leg staircase with stick balusters, original six-panelled doors, architraves with corner squares, shutters, and plain cornicing to some rooms. The original plan form remains intact and readable.

These late 18th-century houses are designated at Grade II for being good examples of evolved townhouses originating before 1840, exhibiting a high quality of external fabric and decorative detail, demonstrating a high level of intactness, and retaining a range of original internal features and readable plan forms.
