Green Edge

Green Edge is a late Georgian terrace comprising houses numbered 1 to 7. The building is a symmetrical 3-storey structure of 12 bays, designed as 3 reflected pairs of 2-bay houses. The central 4 bays are brought forward under a shallow pediment. The walls are pebble-dashed with rusticated quoins and sit beneath a hipped roof of large slates.

The front elevation features large transverse stone chimney stacks positioned to the right and left of centre, with a smaller transverse stone stack set back from the right end and a stone stack in-line and set back from the left end. A hipped veranda extends across the full width of the front, with a slate roof supported on wooden posts, latticework infill, and arched openings.

Windows on the lower and middle storeys are 12-pane hornless sashes. The upper storey has similar but smaller 6-pane sashes, except 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 set slightly higher and beneath a gable. Entrances are positioned in the inner bays of each pair of houses, set slightly further inward than the windows above, all with 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 in the end wall, replaced by a sash window in its inner bay aligned with the upper storey windows.

The right end wall is asymmetrical with 4 bays and is dominated by a wide full-height canted bay on its left side. This bay has 12-pane hornless sash windows in each facet on the lower 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 lower and middle storeys, with shorter 6-pane sash windows in the upper storey, except the bay left of centre which is blind with painted glazing bars. The 2 central bays contain a hipped lean-to porch of circa 1900, spanning the original entrances to No 6 (the news and billiards room) and No 7. The porch has a single entrance with a Tudor arch and sunk spandrels, flanked by 3-light windows with wooden mullions, 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, have similar glazing.

The left end wall (No 1) is slightly splayed with 2 windows. It has 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 features mainly sash windows similar to those on the front. Each pair 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. It has been further extended, and 1A retains 16-pane and 9-pane hornless sashes. No 3 has replacement small-pane sashes in its rear wing, and No 4 retains 12-pane hornless sashes in the upper storey with replacement window and door below. In No 5 the rear wing is a lean-to against the 3-storey No 7. No 7 has a lower 2-storey rear wing with pebble-dashed walls, a roof of large slates, and 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.

Internally, the building features a full-height open-well stair with a wreathed handrail and plain balusters. Windows throughout have panelled shutters.
