Description

Canol Fryn, including forecourt walls and railings

A terrace of six brick-built houses at Nos 66-76 Vale Street, known as Windsor Terrace. The buildings feature glazed brick facades, with the upper four houses additionally ornamented with decorative banding in yellow and blue bricks. A continuous slate roof runs across the terrace with end and shared chimneys; the shared chimneys are staged and feature banding to the upper four houses and oversailing and laced courses to Nos 74-76. The chimneys to Nos 68 and 70 have been reduced slightly. Oversailing and corbelled eaves run across the terrace, with additional banding to all houses except the lower pair. The ground floor of each house is raised slightly above a basement floor and accessed via a flight of low parapeted steps.

The upper four houses (Nos 66, 68, 70, and 72) are arranged symmetrically, with Nos 66 and 68 reflected by Nos 70 and 72. Each unit comprises two bays with arched entrances, those to the central pair correspondingly paired. The central pair feature large segmentally-arched, tripartite windows with expressed keys and imposts to the arches. The outer two have single-storey canted bay windows with flat, parapeted roofs. The recessed original doors have tall glazed upper panels and plain-glazed segmental overlights, with plain Victorian sashes throughout. The second floor has two segmentally-arched windows to each of the central pair and paired and single arched windows to the outer units, with banding at sill and springing level. Each unit contains a large glazed dormer to the attic floor with a hipped, slated roof, oversailing and corbelled eaves, and finials; arched lights are paired to the front and 4-light to the sides.

The lower pair (Nos 74 and 76) have entrances of the same type and 2-storey canted bays to the right and left respectively. These bays have hipped slate roofs with oversailing and corbelled eaves, and stone sillcourses returned onto the main facade as decorative terracotta banding. Single and paired first-floor sashes feature to the left and right units respectively. No. 74 has an additional ground-floor entrance similar to and immediately to the right of the main entrance; this serves as a through-passage door giving access to the rear. The second floor has paired small rectangular windows and paired arched windows to each house, with the arched windows positioned above the bays. Large gables surmount these windows with deep verges and cusped and pierced bargeboards featuring geometric pendant-finials, and decorative terracotta rosettes in the gable apexes. Plain sashes and projecting stone sills appear throughout.

Each house has low brick forecourt walls with sandstone copings. All except No. 74 are surmounted by simple railings.
