16 Windsor Esplanade

Nos 1-19 Windsor Esplanade comprise a row of houses built in the 19th century. They are constructed of snecked grey and brown local sandstone with bathstone dressings, and have slate roofs with mainly red brick chimneys. Each house has three windows, two storeys, and round-headed attic dormers concealed behind a decorative, pierced bathstone parapet, some of which is missing. The two houses at each end of the terrace, along with the central three houses, project slightly forward and feature pinnacled, shaped gables with bathstone copings; set 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 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 runs at first-floor sill level. The first floor has single windows above the doorways and paired windows over ground-floor semi-hexagonal bay windows, each with cornices and low parapets. The central house differs with three single windows on the first floor and an additional window on the ground floor to the right of the bay window. The windows have been largely replaced with modern glazing. The west-facing return is rendered and features a broad, shaped gable. The east-facing return is constructed in stone with a triangular gable, and contains two blocked windows on each floor.
