house

Terraced two-bay two-storey house, built c. 1890, as a terrace of five. Canted bay window to ground floor east on south elevation. Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, brick corbelled chimneystacks, cast-iron gutters on moulded brick corbelled eaves course with dog-tooth frieze, circular cast-iron downpipes. Red brick walling laid in Flemish bond to south elevation. Square-headed window openings, tooled limestone sills, painted timber one-over-one sliding sash windows; painted timber cornice to canted bay. Camber-headed door opening, recessed chamfered brick surround, plain-glazed overlight, painted timber door with four flat panels, tooled limestone steps to entrance. Set back from road, small garden to south bounded by smooth rendered plinth wall surmounted by cast-iron railings, accessed through cast-iron gate.

This is an attractive example of terraced housing developments in the late-nineteenth century. Simple decorative detail to the cornice, canted-bay window and door surround is a typical of the period, as are the highly decorative cast-iron railings which add an artistic note to the structure. The group of five, of which this is an integral part, form a distinctive and very attractive unit within the streetscape.
