1-26 Park Terrace (consec)

One of a double row of terraced houses facing each other across pavements, road, and a narrow green. The houses were built in pairs, each with a door to the side, one window above, and one to the ground floor, sharing a central stack and roofline. The roofline steps to accommodate the rising ground between pairs. They are built of roughly dressed ironstone with a "snecked" appearance, with each opening bordered by large stones and massive single lintels. Brick is used on the stacks. The roofs were originally slate, now largely replaced with concrete tiles, featuring blue brick ridge tiles. The original windows were 8/8 pane sashes, and a few remain; later modifications include horned sashes. Most windows are now late 20th-century PVC-U, although original openings and deep sills have not been altered. The rear elevations were originally similarly glazed. An Ordnance Survey map of 1875 shows no rear extensions, but these are now common. Few dividing fences exist between properties. At the end of each double plot, there is a separate stone and slate WC and coal shed, many of which survive in adapted form. At each terrace end, except for the southeast end, is a later house that differs from the standard pattern.
