18 Windsor Esplanade

Nos. 1-19 Windsor Esplanade comprise a row of 19th-century houses. The construction utilizes snecked grey and brown local sandstone with bathstone dressings, and the roofs are generally slate with red brick chimneys. Each house features three windows across two storeys, topped by round-headed attic dormers concealed behind a decorative, pierced bathstone parapet, of which some sections have been lost. The two houses at each end of the terrace, and the three central houses, project slightly forward and have gable ends shaped like pinnacles, finished with bathstone copings. Within these gables are square-headed windows with decorative hood moulds. 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 there is a bathstone band course at first-floor sill level. The first floor has single windows above the doorways, and paired windows above ground-floor semi-hexagonal bay windows, which have cornices and low parapets. The window arrangement of the central house differs; it has 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 return is rendered and features a broad shaped gable. The east return is in stone with a triangular gable and two blocked windows on each floor.
