19 Windsor Esplanade

Nos. 1 to 19 Windsor Esplanade form a terrace built in the 19th century. The houses are constructed of snecked grey and brown local sandstone with dressings of bathstone, and have generally slate roofs with red brick chimneys. Each house has three windows wide and two storeys in height, with 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, project slightly forward and have gable shapes topped with bathstone copings. Within these gables are square-headed windows with decorative hood moulds. The central house has a slightly narrower and lower shaped gable. A bathstone cornice runs along the terrace, below which is a band of red brick and red and black terracotta tiles. Window and door surrounds are made of bathstone and feature rectangular hood moulds. A band course of bathstone is located at first floor sill level. On the first floor, single windows are positioned above the doorways, while paired windows are above ground floor semi-hexagonal bay windows, which have cornices and low parapets. The central house differs from the others in its window arrangement, featuring three single windows on the first floor and an additional window on the ground floor to the right of the bay. The windows have been largely replaced with modern glazing. The west-facing return is rendered and has a broad, shaped gable. The east-facing return is constructed of stone, with a triangular gable and two blocked windows on each floor.
