Green Edge

Green Edge is a late Georgian symmetrical 3-storey terrace of 12 bays, comprising seven houses arranged as three reflected pairs of 2-bay dwellings. The central 4 bays are brought forward under a shallow pediment. The walls are pebble-dashed with rusticated quoins beneath a hipped roof of large slates.

The chimney stack arrangement consists of large transverse stone stacks to the right and left of centre, a smaller transverse stone stack set back from the right end, and a stone stack in-line and set back from the left end.

Across the full width of the front elevation extends a hipped veranda with a slate roof supported on wooden posts, with latticework infill and arched openings. The ground and middle storeys have 12-pane hornless sash windows. The upper storey has similar but smaller 6-pane sashes, except for the left-hand bay which is blind with painted glazing bars, and the bay set back from the right end (No 6), which has a 4-pane sash window positioned slightly higher and beneath a gable.

The entrances are located in the inner bays of each pair of houses, set slightly further inward than the windows above, and all feature 4-pane overlights. No 1 has a panel door with flush lower panels and glazed upper panels. Nos 2 and 3 have panel doors with flush lower panels. Nos 4 and 5 are similar but with fielded panels over lower flush panels. The entrance to No 6 is positioned in the end wall and, in place of a conventional doorway, has a sash window in its inner bay aligned with the upper storey windows.

The asymmetrical right end wall is dominated by a wide full-height canted bay on its left side. This bay features 12-pane hornless sash windows in each facet at the ground and middle storeys. In the upper storey, the right facet has a 6-pane hornless sash window, the central facet is blind with painted glazing bars, and the left facet has a replacement window. Other windows on this elevation are 12-pane hornless sashes in the ground and middle storeys and shorter 6-pane sash windows in the upper storey, except for the bay left of centre which has a blind window with painted glazing bars.

A hipped lean-to porch of circa 1900 spans the original entrances to No 6 (formerly the news and billiards room) and No 7 in the two central bays of the right end wall. The porch has a single entrance with a Tudor arch and sunk spandrels, flanked by 3-light windows with wooden mullions and transoms and leaded glazing. Half-lit doors to the right and left inside the porch, and a 2-light window in the right-hand return, feature similar glazing.

The left end wall (No 1) is slightly splayed and has two windows. It contains 12-pane horned sash windows in the lower and middle storeys and shorter 6-pane horned sash windows in the upper storey.

The rear elevation of the main range has predominantly sash windows similar to those on the front. Each pair of houses has a 2-storey gabled wing. The wing behind Nos 1 and 2 retains its original end stack and has replacement openings to No 1 (which has been converted to a separate dwelling known as 1A) and sash windows to No 2. This wing has been further extended; in 1A it retains 16-pane and 9-pane hornless sashes. No 3 has replacement small-pane sashes in its rear wing, whilst No 4 retains 12-pane hornless sashes in the upper storey with replacement window and door below. At No 5 the rear wing is a lean-to set against the 3-storey No 7 in the end elevation. No 7 has a lower 2-storey rear wing with pebble-dashed walls and a roof of large slates, featuring middle-storey escape doors. On its left side, in line with the front elevation of No 7, is a 2-storey hipped lean-to with a roof of small slates and small-pane horned sash windows.

The interior contains a full-height open-well staircase with a wreathed handrail and plain balusters. The interior retains panelled doors and panelled shutters.
