1-26 Park Terrace (consec)

One of a double row of terraced housing facing each other across pavements, road, and a narrow green. Houses were built in pairs, each with a door to the side, a single window above, and one to the ground floor, sharing a central stack and roofline. The roofline steps accommodate the rising ground between pairs. They are constructed of roughly dressed ironstone with snecked details, with openings bordered by large stones and massive single lintels, and brick used for the stacks. Originally covered with Welsh slate roofs, most are now replaced with concrete tiles, incorporating blue brick ridge tiles. Windows were originally 8/8 pane sashes, with a few examples remaining; later adaptations include some horned sashes, though most glazing is now late 20th-century PVC-U. Original openings and deep sills remain unaltered. The rear elevations originally had similar glazing and, according to an 1875 Ordnance Survey map, had no rear outshuts, though 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 varies from the standard pattern.
