Description

4 Rook Terrace consists of two pairs of houses built in red brick with slate roofs and brick stacks, dating from the 19th century. The pairs are similar but not identical. Each house is two stories high with an attic and features a 2-window range. The decorative brickwork is characteristic of the Cardigan Brickworks.

Houses 3 and 4 have paired doors, canted bay windows, and upper windows with notched surrounds, cambered heads, and carved keystones. They also feature 4-pane sash windows and brick dormer gables over the outer bays. The eaves have a moulded brick course with zig-zag and roll-mould details, followed by a slate gutter course. Above the sashes, the windows have timber panels with pierced decoration, and the dormer gables include carved roundels. The doors, which are of 2 long arched panels, survive on No 3 and have overlights with shelf hoods supported by rustic brackets, likely made of cast iron.

Houses 1 and 2 are similar but have doors that are not paired; instead, they are aligned under the right-side window of each house, with central gables. The doors feature pilastered doorcases with cornices, with arched panels on No 1 and glazed panels on No 2.

All four houses are surrounded by low walls made of yellow brick, topped with cast-iron railings and wrought iron gates.
