Description

Oaklands is a pair of houses featuring a distinctive facade made of a mix of buff brick, red brick, and red terracotta, topped with a slate roof adorned with red terracotta Ruabon cresting tiles. The buildings are three stories tall and have two windows, with the ground floor consisting of front rooms and a porch that is a single-storey addition. The porch showcases an elaborate carved timber pediment, although the entrance and doors have been altered.

The elevation is highlighted by pairs of red brick piers that rise from the first floor, supported by terracotta corbels shaped like birds. On either side of these piers are windows with arched heads and terracotta keystones. Shorter piers extend from below the second-floor sill band, with this floor constructed of buff brick and featuring a red terracotta eaves cornice. A large terracotta plaque in the shape of a shell, adorned with bands of rosettes, is centrally positioned at the first-floor level, while a central recess at the second-floor level contains a terracotta figure of an owl. The windows in No. 1 are 4-pane sashes, while No. 2 has later replacement windows.

The forecourt is enclosed by a red brick wall with terracotta copings and gate piers topped with terracotta ball finials. Inside, No. 1 retains its original plan form, including a Ruabon tiled floor in the hall, doors, and staircase. No. 2 was not accessible during the survey in October 1994 but has been converted into flats.
