house

End-of-terrace two-bay two-storey local authority house, built 1888. One of a terrace of nine forming part of a group of eleven. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Unpainted rendered, ruled and lined walls with red brick quoins to end. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, red brick block-and-start surrounds, and two-over-two timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with red brick block-and-start surround, and glazed timber panelled door having overlight. Set back from line of road with sections of iron railings to front on unpainted rendered plinth having iron gate.

A pleasant small-scale house built as one of a terrace of nine identical units (with 12000228, 49 - 55/KK-4766-09-228, 49 - 55) forming part of a larger group of eleven houses (with 12000247 - 8/KK-4766-09-247 - 8) representing a modest-scale late nineteenth-century local authority housing project in the area. Pleasing proportions, the use of red brick accents to produce a somewhat polychromatic visual effect, and so on all enhance the architectural design value of the house. Having been well maintained the house presents an early aspect, thereby maintaining the integrity of the assemblage as an important element of the streetscape.
