Description

Nos. 9 and 10 Fosterville Crescent are a pair of semi-detached villas built of red brick, featuring caramel coloured terracotta quoins and dressings, and topped with natural slate roofs and red brick stacks. The houses rise three storeys above a cellar. Each villa has paired gables at the front, with one bay for each house, and a cross-wing at the rear that includes additional gables at either end.

The front gables are adorned with two-storey canted bays made of terracotta, which contain 2 over 1 pane sash windows flanked by 1 over 1 pane sashes, although some of the glazing has been altered from the original. The bays are supported by rusticated pilasters and feature keystone heads above the sashes, with aprons decorated with bands of stiff-leaf designs and castellated tops, all crafted in terracotta. The gables also include Venetian windows with small paned glazing, framed in terracotta. The bargeboards are plain, with cross finials atop the gables, and the roofs are steeply pitched, complete with ridge tiles and one tall brick stack remaining on No. 12.

The returns have an external stack and single windows positioned behind. The cross wings feature a single sash window facing forward on two floors, with another sash on the gable elevation and a smaller window on the second floor, also topped with a finial. The entrances are located in the angles of the buildings. The rear elevation has not been seen.

This house has slightly altered window arrangements and has lost its tall chimney. The interior has not been inspected during the resurvey.
