Description

Nos. 1-8 Elizabeth Owen Charity Almshouses is a terrace of nine two-storey almshouses that has been converted to eight. The front elevation is designed to appear as seven similar almshouses, with an additional chimney to maintain a symmetrical look. The front is constructed from uncoursed local limestone and features a slate roof with a decorative crested ridge. The central unit is gabled, projects slightly, and has decorative bargeboards and a finial. It also carries a plaque that reads 'The Order of Malta Homes Trust, Elizabeth Owen Terrace' between two Maltese crosses.

Each almshouse in the front elevation has one centrally placed upper window, one left-hand ground floor window, and one right-hand ground floor doorway. The windows are all two-light casements, with each light being two panes wide and featuring arched heads, except for the ground-floor window of the central almshouse, which is five panes wide. The ground floor openings have stone lintels, and the doors are boarded.

The right-hand return elevation is made of stone rubble and includes a lower rear cross-wing that contains two additional almshouses. These have similar windows and doors, but the first-floor windows are positioned above the ground floor windows. There are steps leading up to the right-hand side.

The front garden is enclosed by a low stone wall.
