Description

116 Cathedral Road comprises a pair of semi-detached houses built in the late 19th century, exhibiting characteristics of the Old English Revival and Norman Shaw styles. The houses are built of red brick with Portland stone ashlar dressings and Welsh slate roofs, featuring red brick chimneys and ridge tiles. Each house is three storeys high and two bays wide, with a large and a small bay featuring paired entrances centrally positioned. The ground and first floors have canted five-light bay windows with plate glass, with a rusticated sandstone apron between them. The top floor is gabled and jettied, supported by carved timber brackets, and features a four-light canted timber mullioned oriel window with a two-tier tile-hung facade. The building incorporates plain bargeboards, a large chimney on the side elevation, paired doorways within brick porches faced with stone, arched doorways topped with a keyed roundel and a parapet. Each house has a window above the porch, a coved cornice, a dormer with a slate roof and finial, and stone bands on the side elevation with small windows. The rear elevation was not visible during the resurvey. The interior of the houses was not accessible for inspection.
