13 Windsor Esplanade

Nos 1-19 Windsor Esplanade comprise a terrace of seventeen houses dating to the 19th century. The houses are built with snecked grey and brown local sandstone, contrasted with dressings of bathstone. The roofs are generally slate, with mainly red brick chimneys. Each house has three windows wide and two storeys, with round-headed attic dormers set behind a decorative, pierced bathstone parapet, some of which has been lost. The two houses at each end, and the three central houses, project slightly forward and feature pinnacled, shaped gables with bathstone copings. Square-headed windows, each with a hood mould, are set within these gables. The central house has a slightly narrower and lower shaped gable. A bathstone cornice runs along the building, below which is a band of red brick and red and black terracotta tiles. Window and door surrounds are in bathstone, with rectangular hood moulds, and a bathstone band course runs at first-floor sill level. The first floor features a single window above each doorway, and paired windows above the ground-floor semi-hexagonal bay windows, which have cornices and low parapets. The central house differs from the others in its 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 western return is rendered and features a broad, shaped gable. The eastern return is in stone with a triangular gable, incorporating two blocked windows on each floor.
