52 Mount Street

This is a terrace of three cottages dating from the second quarter of the 19th century, built in a vernacular Gothic style. The cottages are constructed of squared, rough-dressed blocks of local stone, with slate dressings. They have a continuous, renewed slate roof with tiled ridges and three large stone chimneys with simple capping. Nos 50 and 52 form an identical pair, each featuring two windows, while no 48 is also a two-window unit, but is slightly advanced and has a broad, shallow gable with oversailing verges and eaves, and plain modern bargeboards. The central entrances to nos 48 and 50 have modern doors, while no 52 retains a 19th-century six-panel door with glazed central panels. Nos 50 and 52 have triangular heads to both the entrance and flanking windows, each with projecting slate labels and simple triangular fans. Windows on both floors are two-pane C20 casement windows; those on the upper floor break the eaves and are contained within shallow gabled dormers, again featuring triangular overlights. No 48 has square-headed windows with C20 glazing, consisting of triple tilting sections above plain lower sections, and a triangular-headed niche at the gable apex. The interior was not inspected. The group value of the terrace relates to nos 48, 50, and 52 Mount Street.
