27-52 Park Terrace (consec)

27-52 Park Terrace is a row of terraced houses built in pairs, facing each other across pavements, a road, and a narrow green. The houses feature a side door, one window above and one on the ground floor, a shared central stack, and a roofline that steps to accommodate the rising ground between pairs. They are constructed of snecked, roughly dressed ironstone, with large stones framing each opening and massive single lintels, while some stacks are made of brick. The original roofs were covered with Welsh slate, but most have been replaced with concrete tiles and blue brick ridge tiles. The windows were originally 8/8 pane sashes, with a few remaining, while later adaptations include some horned sashes; most glazing is now late 20th century PVC-U, though the original openings and deep sills remain unaltered. The rear elevations had similar glazing and are shown on the Ordnance Survey Map of 1875 with no rear outshuts, which are now common. There are few dividing fences between properties, but each double plot has a separate stone and slate WC and coal shed at the end, many of which survive in adapted form. At each end of the terrace, except the southeast, there is a later house that varies from the standard design.
