23 Ann Street

25 Ann Street is an early 20th-century, two-storey and attic, mirrored pair of three-bay houses featuring a gated entrance recess and well-detailed interiors. The exterior is constructed from stugged squared and snecked rubble with droved margins, and includes base and band courses, as well as billeted cornices above the oriel windows. The entrance features a keystoned depressed-arched doorway, corbels, stone mullions, and chamfered arrises.

The west elevation is symmetrical, with a central bay that has decorative ironwork gates leading to an arched entrance. This entrance leads to three set-back part-glazed panelled timber doors with fanlights, while the outer doors and fanlights have multi-pane leaded glazing. There are two windows on the first floor. The outer bays are advanced and gabled, each featuring a tripartite window on the ground floor, and a canted inner angle that is corbelled to a square at the first floor with a four-light oriel window, along with a small horizontal tripartite window in the gablehead.

The east elevation is also symmetrically fenestrated, with doors at the centre on the ground floor and wallhead stacks flanked by dormer windows. Number 25 has plate glass glazing in timber sash and case windows, while Number 23 has uPVC glazing. The roofs are covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with cans, ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts, and cast-iron downpipes with a decorative rainwater hopper on the northwest side.

Inside, the houses feature good decorative schemes, including decorative plasterwork cornices, dog-leg stairs with timber balusters, and many fine fireplaces with decoratively-tiled cheeks, some with overmantels. Number 25 has a first-floor music room with a fireplace (not tiled) sourced from Number 23. The attic rooms also have cornices and corner fireplaces, along with some original picture rails and a service bell box.
