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 roofline steps accommodate the rising ground between the pairs. 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, though 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 glazing is now late 20th century PVC-U, but the original openings and deep sills remain unaltered. The rear elevations had similar glazing, as shown on the 1875 Ordnance Survey map, and originally had no 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 the southeast, there is a later house that varies from the standard design.
