Description
22 Severn Street is part of a terrace built in 1828, designed as a unified development for lawyer Richard Griffiths-Parry, who previously constructed the Mansion House as his residence.
The exterior features a brick front with rough local rubble at the rear and slate roofs that have broad overhanging eaves. Each property has end wall stacks. The terrace is three storeys high and consists of a symmetrical range of nine windows across four properties. The end bays are slightly recessed and contain passage entries with six-panelled doors and overlights. The ground floor between these recessed bays is arcaded with a series of depressed arches linked by a projecting impost band that continues across the head of the central passage entry, which is detailed like the others. On either side of this, the arched recesses contain paired doorways flanked by 12-pane sash windows. The six-panelled doors with overlights are set in moulded architraves, and the window recesses are rendered with painted sills.
On the first floor, the windows are 12-pane sashes with flat arched brick heads, although there are blind window spaces (rendered) above the main doors and central passage entrance, along with a canted oriel window with a 12-pane sash to the right. All first-floor windows are linked by a continuous sill band. The upper windows are 6-pane sashes located below the eaves.
This terrace represents an elegant example of early 19th-century urban planning and has largely maintained the uniformity of its original design.
