house

End-of-terrace two-bay three-storey house, c.1890, on a corner site. Extensively renovated, c.1990, to accommodate use as apartments. One of a terrace of three. Hipped (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves having Fleur-de-Lys brackets to down pipes. Painted rendered walls. Shallow segmental-headed window openings to ground and to first floor with square-headed window openings to top floor, moulded rendered sills and sill courses, moulded rendered surrounds, and moulded reveals to top floor. Replacement uPVC casement windows, c.1990. Segmental-headed door opening with moulded rendered surround, replacement timber panelled door, c.1980, sidelights and overlight. Road fronted on a corner site with concrete brick cobbled footpath to front.

An attractive, middle-size house, built as one of a compact terrace of three identical houses distinguished by the decorative rendered treatment to the openings. However, the replacement fenestration does not enhance the appearance of the house. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace (22504169 – 70/WD-5632-22-171 – 170), is an appealing, well-proportioned feature in the streetscape.
