2 Windsor Esplanade

Nos. 1-19 Windsor Esplanade comprise a terrace of houses dating from the 19th century, built of snecked grey and brown local sandstone with bathstone dressings, and generally slate roofs with red brick chimneys. Each house has three windows, two storeys in height, plus round-headed attic dormers concealed behind a partially lost, decoratively-perforated bathstone parapet. The two houses at each end of the terrace, and the central three houses, project slightly forward and feature pinnacled, shaped gables with bathstone copings, and square-headed windows with hoodmoulds in the gable apexes. The central house has a slightly narrower and lower shaped gable. A bathstone cornice runs along the building line, 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 are bathstone band courses at the level of the first-floor sills. The first floor windows are single over the doorways, and paired above ground-floor semi-hexagonal bay windows with cornices and low parapets. The central house differs, with three single windows to the first floor, and an additional window on the ground floor to the right of the bay. The original glazing has been replaced. The return to the west is rendered and features a broad, shaped gable. The return to the east is in stone with a triangular gable and two blocked windows on each floor.
