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. They are constructed from snecked, roughly dressed ironstone, with each opening framed by large stones and massive single lintels, and some brick used for the stacks. Originally, the roofs were covered with Welsh slate, but most have now 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 of the glazing is now late 20th-century PVC-U, but 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, although these 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 survive in adapted forms. At each end of the terrace, except for the southeast, there is a later house that varies from the standard design.
