Description

A terrace of three houses, built around 1850, with the rightmost property later adapted as a hotel. The construction uses snecked rubble with long and short freestone dressings and quoins, while the wing on the left is stuccoed. The roofs are slate, with brick stacks marking the gables and party walls. The houses are arranged with a double-depth plan, and feature a lower, set-back wing to the left. They are two storeys high with attics, and each house originally had a two-window frontage. Each house has two gabled dormers, featuring decorative bargeboards over a two-light casement window with small panes. Small gutter brackets are also present, along with six-pane sash windows to the first floor and a tripartite sash window to each ground floor, all incorporating keystones. Semi-circular, projecting porches with open fanlights and trellised fronts are situated to the left of each house's entrance. Number 12, on the right, exhibits 19th-century sliding shutters within a delicately fretted frame on the first floor; number 14 has 20th-century shutters. The terrace is recognized for its attractive use of stone. The lower wing attached to number 16 on the left includes a six-pane sash window positioned above a canted bay with a hipped roof, and an eight-pane sash window. Interiors, which were not inspected, are understood to contain 19th-century open-string staircases with fretted ends and a swept mahogany rail. The front is enclosed by rubblestone walls topped with freestone capping, and includes gabled gatepiers with long and short quoins.
