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, a shared central stack, and a consistent roofline that accommodates the rising ground between pairs. They are constructed from snecked, roughly dressed ironstone, with each opening framed by large stones and topped with massive single lintels. While the original roofs were made of Welsh slate, 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, though most glazing is now late 20th-century PVC-U. 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, many of which 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.
