Description
West Side, Fairfield Place is a terrace of former houses built in the early to mid-19th century, with some later alterations. The building is two stories high and consists of 14 bays, constructed from squared, tooled, roughly-coursed orange sandstone with dressed sandstone ashlar features, along with some brick repairs. It features long and short quoins and raised margins around most windows and doors.
The ground floor has fairly regularly spaced doors and windows, though there are some later modifications. These include a later brick outshot in the second bay from the left, a Victorian decorative timber panelled door in the fourth bay, a 1920s half-glazed timber-boarded door in the fifth bay, a timber boarded door in the seventh bay, and three timber-boarded sliding doors in the last three bays. The upper floor has fairly regular fenestration, including a bipartite window in the seventh bay. There is likely a later blocked-up window on the first floor of the north gable, and the west elevation is unfenestrated.
The windows are 12-pane timber sash and case types. The building has three rendered chimney stacks with thack-stanes, and the roof is covered with small graded grey slates and grey ridge tiles.
