Description
Nos. 1-19 Windsor Esplanade comprise a row of houses built in the 19th century. The houses are constructed from snecked grey and brown local sandstone with dressings of bathstone, and have slate roofs with predominantly red brick chimneys. Each house features three windows across two storeys, with round-headed attic dormers set behind a partially lost parapet decorated with pierced bathstone. The houses at each end of the terrace, along with the central three, project slightly forward, topped with pinnacled gables and 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 sits below 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 run at first-floor sill level. The first floor features single windows above doorways, and paired windows over ground-floor semi-hexagonal bay windows with cornices and low parapets. The central house's window arrangement differs, featuring three single windows on the first floor and an additional ground-floor window to the right of the bay. The glazing has been largely replaced. The west-facing return is rendered and has a broad shaped gable, while the east-facing return is in stone with a triangular gable, containing two blocked windows on each floor.
