Description

No. 11 Gold Tops is an exuberant Tudor Revival style building, likely dating from the mid-20th century. It is a complex stuccoed building of two storeys plus dormers, with raised quoins also framing the windows. The building has steep slate roofs with decorative bands of fishscale patterning, and elaborately carved bargeboards of various patterns, including those on the dormers. Tall yellow brick chimneys are prominent, with diagonal shafts and several stacks: two ridge chimneys to the taller middle section, six shafts on the left, two on the right, a stack to the ridge right of the porch on the south front, five shafts on the south front, and three to the right gable of the taller section on the east front, with a plain ridge stack to the lower section. Windows are generally small-paned sashes with centre mullions.

The south front features an advanced gable belonging to the neighbouring No. 12. A canted bay window is situated above a sash window with a steep dormer gable, and there is a round attic window containing a quatrefoil design. The three left bays form the entrance front of No. 11 and include a two-storey gabled porch at the centre. The porch has a four-centred doorway with a moulded surround and hoodmould, with a datestone positioned above and a sash window above the doorway. A ground floor canted bay window to the left is embellished with battlements, while a sash window above the porch has a gabled dormer. To the right of the porch are sashes to the ground and first floors; the first floor window breaks the eaves and is accompanied by a gabled dormer.

The west elevation, which defines the boundary for No. 11, features three distinct sections. The right bay is gabled with sash windows to both floors, and a small attic sash above. The central bay has a higher roofline and a two-storey ashlar bay window with crenellations, featuring three-light mullioned windows with sashes. The left section, which has been remodelled as office premises, is lower, with a gable facing Fields Road, narrowed to the centre and featuring a mullioned window above an open porch.

The east front of No. 12, at a right angle to Fields Road, comprises two sections. The three-bay left part is taller, with a single-storey, deeply gabled porch to the centre, its pointed door facing south with a gable above. Sashes are positioned to the first floor; the centre window has a dormer gable. There are steeply gabled attic dormers on each side, sharing the main ridge line. A slightly lower three-bay section to the right has sashes to the ground floor and a large-paned canted bay window to the first floor set at an angle with the taller block. The north elevation consists of the gable ends of each house, separated by a narrow service court enclosed by a rubble wall with an arched doorway.

The interior was not inspected during a survey conducted in May 1999.
