Description
51 Garden Suburbs, Circus is a Grade II listed building that forms part of a butterfly-plan block designed in the Arts and Crafts style. This block consists of four two-storey houses, numbered 49 to 55, each featuring a single window range at the front. The distinctively gabled elevations may show influence from the architecture of Philip Webb. Houses 49 and 55 are finished with pebbledash, while houses 51 and 53 are tile-hung. All have tiled roofs with swept overhanging eaves and brick chimney stacks. Some original leaded casement windows remain, although most have been replaced with imitations.
The symmetrical main front design highlights the twin tile-hung gables that slope down low on either side, jettied out and boarded at the top. The first floor features 4-light windows, with splayed bays below that have hipped roofs. Entrances are located on either side, positioned beneath the base of the gables. The single-window wings include hipped hoods over 3-light first floor windows. In contrast to nearby houses, the gable ends to the north and east are symmetrical, showcasing brick-tiled details and cambered-arched 5-light windows on the first floor, with 7-light windows below. The rear of the building is gabled and has fewer dormers than other principal blocks in the area.
