Description

Nos. 18 and 19 Fosterville Crescent is a semi-detached house built of yellow brick, featuring caramel coloured terracotta quoins and window and door dressings. The property has a red tile roof with yellow brick chimney stacks. It is two storeys high with attics and has three windows on each house. Each end of the pair has a three-storey gabled wing, with a two-storey canted bay and a single window above in the gable, which has a heavy keyed surround. The bays are made of terracotta with rusticated surrounds, stiff-leaf capitals, and a stiff-leaf band on the upper apron. The windows are plain sash types with keyed heads, and the roof has eaves supported by brackets. The gables feature fretted bargeboards.

The central range includes paired windows on the ground floor and recessed balconies above, which are adorned with wrought iron railings, a door, and a sash window. All windows are 2 over 1 pane sashes, and the doors are part glazed. The return elevations consist of three bays, with a large gabled porch on the left and a wood-framed oriel, along with other single sash windows, including one in a gablet on the top floor. The roof has ridge tiles, spike finials on the gables, and tall chimney stacks, with one located on the ridge between the houses and others on the return walls. One chimney on the left return has been truncated below the eaves.

Each house is accompanied by a rubble street wall topped with rounded terracotta capping, square piers with pinecone finials (one finial is missing on the left), and decorative cast iron gates. The rear elevation was not inspected, and the interior was not seen during the resurvey.
