house

Semi-detached three-bay two-storey over raised basement house, c.1870. Extensively renovated, c.1995, with single-bay single-storey gabled projecting porch added to centre. One of a pair. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Pitched (gable-fronted) artificial slate roof to porch with clay ridge tiles, and uPVC rainwater goods on timber eaves. Unpainted roughcast walls (probably replacement, c.1995) with painted rendered quoins to ends. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills, and rendered surrounds having keystones. Replacement uPVC casement windows, c.1995. Round-headed door opening to porch approached by flight of twelve cut-limestone steps with rendered surround, uPVC sliding doors, and ‘fanlight’. Set back from line of road with unpainted roughcast boundary wall to front having rendered coping, and wrought iron gate.

A well-proportioned house, built as one of a pair (with 22816047/WD-26-16-47), the visual appeal of which has been compromised by over-zealous renovation works that have led to the loss of much of the original fabric, and the addition of a porch of little architectural design quality.
