40 Maryport Street

This is a terrace of three cottages, standing attached to buildings on both sides. The cottages are rendered and painted, topped with a slate roof and prominent yellow brick ridge stacks. They are two storeys high. The first-floor windows are 4-pane casements, while the ground-floor windows are generally sashes and simple, unadorned doorways. The overall design is asymmetrical. The cottage at number 38, which is the right-hand property, has a single window to its front, featuring a small, pitched-roof ground-floor bay window with single-pane opening casements and a 6-panelled door. Number 40 is double-fronted, with a two-window arrangement; it has a central ground-floor doorway with a part-glazed door, a 6-pane sash window to the right, and a canted bay window on the left with fixed glazing. Number 42, the left-hand cottage, also has a two-window range and two ground-floor doorways: one central with a 4-panelled door, and one at the right with a boarded door. A wider canted bay window is situated on the left side, with 20th-century glazing. A plinth runs along the base of the building, with the terrace forming part of a larger group of three buildings.
