11 Beacon's Hill

This is a long, staggered terrace of 13 one-window, two-storey cottages built in the second half of the 19th century, following a broad curve as they descend the hill. The cottages, numbered 11 to 37, are arranged primarily as reflected pairs, with the exception of the end units and numbers 25 and 27. Number 11 is an earlier addition to the terrace, with an extra window on the ground floor and older brickwork in the lower portion of its chimney, suggesting construction perhaps in the second quarter or mid-19th century. The terrace is built of rendered brick, with shared brick stacks and slate roofs finished with tiled ridges. The stacks at numbers 13 and 15, and numbers 21 to 25, are also rendered. The roofline is continuous up to number 15, with the roof stepping down slightly in sections of generally two cottages as the terrace follows the contours of the hill. The original doors were of a late Victorian four-panel design, with those at numbers 33 and 35 being partially glazed. The doors at numbers 11, 17, 23, 27, 29, 31, and 37 have been replaced with modern doors; number 29 also incorporates an additional entrance with a boarded door to the left. The windows are plain, recessed four-pane sashes with projecting stone sills. The terrace forms part of a group of 14 buildings.
