11 Windsor Esplanade

Nos 1-19 Windsor Esplanade represent a terrace of houses dating from the 18th century, constructed of snecked grey and brown local sandstone with bathstone dressings. The roofs are generally slate, with mainly red brick chimneys. Each house has three windows, two storeys, and round-headed attic dormers concealed behind a decoratively pierced bathstone parapet, some of which has been lost. The two houses at each end of the terrace, and the central three houses, project slightly forward, featuring pinnacled shaped gables with bathstone copings. Within these gables are square-headed windows with hoodmoulds. The central house has a slightly narrower and lower shaped gable. A bathstone cornice runs along the terrace, below which is a band of red brick and red and black terracotta tiles. Window and door surrounds are in bathstone, incorporating rectangular hood moulds. Bathstone band courses are present at first-floor sill level. The first floor has single windows positioned above the doorways, while paired windows are situated above the ground-floor semi-hexagonal bay windows, which themselves have cornices and low parapets. The central house of the terrace has a different window arrangement, with three single windows on the first floor and an additional window on the ground floor to the right of the bay. The glazing has been largely replaced. The west-facing return is rendered and features a broad shaped gable. The east-facing return is in stone with a triangular gable and two blocked windows on each floor.
