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 have side doors, 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 from snecked, roughly dressed ironstone, with large stones bordering 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, although the original openings and deep sills remain unchanged. The rear elevations had similar glazing and are depicted on the 1875 Ordnance Survey map without 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 still exist in adapted forms. At each end of the terrace, except for the southeast, there is a later house that varies from the standard design.
