24 Archer Road

This is a pair of two-storey houses with attics, situated on Archer Road and Victoria Road. They were built in the late 19th century, displaying a picturesque, asymmetrical design. The ground floors are of red brick with some bathstone dressings, particularly noticeable on the porch of 25 Victoria Road. The upper floors are rendered with decorative pargetting (tudor roses) and sections of half-timbering, complemented by red fish-scale tile hanging. The roofs are covered in artificial slate, with tall red brick chimney stacks and red tiled roofs over ground floor projections.

The south-facing elevation of 24 Archer Road has a hipped roof with a small dormer window and a projecting oriel dormer with a raking roof. A two-storey, splayed bay window to the right features strapwork pargetting. The first floor of this bay has sash windows with wooden mullions and transoms, while the ground floor, set slightly forward under a red fish-scale tiled roof, has a mullioned and transomed window with sash glazing. To the left of the bay on the first floor are a two-light and a three-light window. The ground floor to the left features a bay window and an entrance porch with a broad segmental head and bathstone dressings. The entrance door is set back, flanked by windows to the left and right.

The south-facing elevation of 25 Victoria Road (facing Archer Road) has a boldly projecting, semi-octagonal bay with a splayed, hipped roof extending to the attic level, with a four-light dormer under a raking roof. The first floor of this bay has sash windows with wooden mullions and transoms, alongside a similar four-light window to the left. The ground floor, under shallow tiled roofs, has a three-light window to the right and a semi-hexagonal bay window to the left.

The east-facing entrance front (facing Victoria Road) features two asymmetrical gables on a half-timbered first floor, with a three-light window between them and two tall red brick chimneys. The first floor also has a two-light and a smaller single-light window. The ground floor projects forward under a red-tiled roof. A bathstone porch to the left has a half-timbered gable over a three-centred arched doorway with foliage reliefs on the jambs. To the right of the door is a "Venetian" window with stained glass, and a convex return with strapwork relief and a multi-light window. To the right of the porch is a single-storey red brick service wing with camber-headed sash windows. A further gable is visible on the north return.

The houses are surrounded by boundary walls of red brick with bathstone copings, gate piers with bathstone quoins and moulded capstones. These elements contribute to the group value of the buildings.
