house

Terraced three-bay two-storey house, c.1880. Extensively renovated, pre-1999. One of a terrace of eight. Pitched (shared) roof with replacement artificial slate, pre-1999, clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods, pre-1999, on overhanging rendered eaves. Painted rendered walls with rendered channelled piers to ends. Square-headed window openings with stone sills, rendered surrounds, and replacement uPVC casement windows, pre-1999. Elliptical-headed door opening with rendered surround, inscribed timber pilaster doorcase, timber panelled door, and spoked fanlight. Road fronted with shared tarmacadam forecourt.

An elegantly-proportioned middle-size house, built as one of a terrace of eight identical units (with 22816029 - 31, 184 – 187/WD-26-16-29 - 31, 184 – 187), which retains most of its original form. However, inappropriate replacement fittings have not had a positive impact on the external expression of the composition. Nevertheless, the house, together with the remainder in the terrace, forms an important component of the townscape, following the topography of the sloping site through the use of a stepped roofline.
