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. Each house features a side door, one window above and one on the ground floor, a shared central stack, and a uniform roofline that accommodates the rising ground between pairs. The houses are constructed from snecked, roughly dressed ironstone, with each opening framed by large stones and massive single lintels; some stacks are made of brick. Originally, the 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, while later adaptations include some horned sashes. Most of the glazing has been replaced with late 20th-century PVC-U, but the original openings and deep sills remain unchanged. The rear elevations featured 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 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.
