29 Beacon's Hill

Nos. 11-37 Beacon’s Hill form a long, staggered terrace of cottages built in the second half of the 19th century, following a broad curve as they descend the hillside. The terrace comprises 13 cottages, each with a single window, and two storeys. With the exception of the end cottages and numbers 25 and 27, the cottages are arranged in pairs with mirror-image facades. Number 11 has an additional window on the ground floor and features earlier brickwork in the lower section of its chimney, suggesting a possible origin in the second quarter or mid-19th century.

The cottages are built of rendered brick with shared brick stacks and have slate roofs with tiled ridges. The stacks at numbers 13 and 15, and numbers 21-5, are rendered. The roof is continuous until number 15, and steps down slightly in sections, typically of two cottages at a time, as the terrace descends. The doors are recessed and of a late Victorian style, with four panels; those at numbers 33 and 35 are partly glazed. The doors at numbers 11, 17, 23, 27, 29, 31, and 37 are modern. Number 29 has an additional entrance with a boarded door to the left. Windows are plain, recessed four-pane sashes with projecting stone sills. This terrace is part of a larger group of 14 buildings.
