57 Garden Suburbs

Nos 57-63 (odd - consec) Garden Suburbs Short asymmetrical terrace of single-storey and attic houses, each with 2-window fronts. The design is distinctive for the gables and tall rubble chimney stack to end left (No 63), in the manner of a sub-medieval lateral chimney, together with the square ridge stacks to Nos 59 and 61. Mostly pebbledashed but the larger and advanced gabled bays to Nos 57 and 61 are rubble with split-stone kneelers to No. 61 and large stone lintels; remaining attic windows to the front of Nos 59 and 63 are contained under small gables. Nos 59 and 61 are separated by a buttress.The roofs have been variously replaced with concrete tiles and artificial slate but retain overhanging eaves. 2 and 3-light leaded casement glazing originally but none retained; bracketed hooded doorway to No 61. The gable end of No 63 has projecting rubble wing which is asymmetrically gabled with wide bracketed eaves and ramped buttresses, all in a strongly Arts and Crafts style. There was originally an archway that linked Nos 57 to 63 with the adjacent block Nos 65 to 71 - hence the name Arch Hill for the road between the two. At the rear the terrace has tall twinned gables to centre, a full height broad stone gable to No 57 and a small gable with swept eaves to No. 63.

Added hood to entrance doorway.
