Description

Nos. 9-12 Almshouse Street are a group of houses built in red brick with Bath stone quoins and a Welsh slate roof. These single fronted, double depth houses consist of two parallel ranges and rise to three storeys. The façade features four windows and five doors on the ground floor, with one door providing access to the rear. The arrangement of the ground floor is door, window, window, door, door, window, door, door, with the doors being vertical plank types. The windows are 3 over 6 pane sashes, except for the top floor, which has 3 over 3 pane sashes. The low pitch roof has two large ridge stacks positioned between each pair of houses. The west gable end is rendered, rising above the roof of No. 8, and the gable of the rear range is visible. The rear elevation is also rendered and features plain casement windows.

The interior was restructured in the late 20th century but still retains very small rooms. Only No. 11 was inspected during the resurvey.
