1-26 Park Terrace (consec)

One of a double row of terraced housing facing each other across pavements, road, and a narrow green. The houses were built in pairs, each designed with a door to the side, one window above, and one to the ground floor, sharing a central stack and roofline. To accommodate the rising ground between pairs, the roofline has stepped sections. The buildings are constructed of roughly dressed ironstone with a "snecked" appearance, with each opening bordered by large stones and massive single lintels. The stacks have some brickwork. Originally roofed with Welsh slate, the roofs are now mostly replaced with concrete tiles, with blue brick ridge tiles. The original windows were 8/8 pane sashes, and a few of these remain; later adaptations include some horned sashes. Most of the glazing is now late 20th-century PVC-U, although the original openings and deep sills have not been altered. The rear elevations originally had similar glazing and, according to an 1875 Ordnance Survey map, lacked rear extensions, though these are now common. Few dividing fences exist between properties. At the end of each double plot, a separate stone and slate WC and coal shed were originally provided, and many of these survive in adapted form. At each terrace end, except for the southeast end, is a later house that deviates from the standard pattern.
