65 Garden Suburbs

Nos 65-71 Garden Suburbs is a short terrace of single-storey and attic houses, each featuring two-window fronts. The design is notable for its gables and tall rubble chimney stacks at each end, resembling sub-medieval lateral chimneys, along with square ridge stacks on Nos 67 and 69. The houses are mostly pebbledashed, but the larger gabled bays on Nos 67 and 71 are constructed of rubble, with split-stone kneelers on No. 67 and large stone lintels. The remaining attic windows at the front are set under small gables. The roofs have been replaced with concrete tiles and feature overhanging eaves. Originally, the houses had 2 and 3-light leaded casement windows, which have now been replaced. Nos 65 and 67 have hooded doorways, while No 71 has a round-headed arched doorway. No 71 includes a single-storey wing on the left, similar to No 57 in the adjacent block. The gable end of No 65 has a projecting rubble bay that is asymmetrically gabled, with wide bracketed eaves and ramped buttresses, all reflecting a strong Arts and Crafts style. Originally, there was an archway linking Nos 65 to 71 with the adjacent block of Nos 57 to 63, which is why the road between them is named Arch Hill. At the rear, there are tall twinned gables in the center, a full-height broad stone gable on No 71, and a small gable with swept eaves on No 65. Additionally, there is an added chimney on the side.
