26 Garden Suburbs, Circus

26 Garden Suburbs, Circus is a group of four houses built in the Arts and Crafts style, featuring a butterfly-plan layout. These two-storey homes, each with an attic, have a single window range at the front. The exterior is made of rubble with quoins, topped with tiled roofs that have swept overhanging eaves and tall chimney stacks, including three on the main front pitch. The original windows are leaded casement types.

The symmetrical design of the main front is highlighted by distinctive twinned gables, which may be influenced by the architecture of Philip Webb. These gables extend low on either side and are jettied out, with boarding above 4-light windows. While the gables have modern boarding and replacement glazing, as well as modern ground floor bow windows (which may have originally been bays), the overall Arts and Crafts character of the design remains largely intact.

At the base of the gables are broad round-headed entrances featuring split-stone voussoirs and recessed doors. Each house has single window wings with gables over 2-light first floor windows and 3-light ground floor windows, all under cambered relieving arches. The asymmetrical gable ends to the west and south include attic lights, kneelers, and stone chimney stacks on the rear pitch, with the southern stack being roughcast rendered. The ground floor doorways of Nos 22 and 28 have segmental arched hoods with flanking windows. The rear features flat-roofed dormers and tiled outshuts, with replaced windows styled similarly to the originals.
