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, sharing a central stack and roofline. The design accommodates the rising ground between pairs with steps in the roofline. Constructed from snecked, roughly dressed ironstone, each opening is framed by large stones with massive single lintels, and 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 still remaining; later adaptations include some horned sashes, while most glazing has been replaced with late 20th-century PVC-U. The original openings and deep sills remain unaltered. 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.
