14 Windsor Esplanade

Nos. 1-19 Windsor Esplanade are a group 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, and round-headed attic dormers set behind a decorative, pierced bathstone parapet, some of which is now lost. The two houses at each end of the terrace, and the central three houses, project slightly forward and have pinnacled shaped gables with bathstone copings, containing square-headed windows with hoodmoulds. The central house has a slightly narrower and lower shaped gable. A bathstone cornice runs along the building, beneath 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. On the first floor are single windows above the doorways, and paired windows over semi-hexagonal bay windows on the ground floor, these bay windows having cornices and low parapets. The central house differs in window arrangement, with three single windows to 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 with a broad shaped gable, while the east-facing return is in stone with a triangular gable, and contains two blocked windows on each floor.
