house

Terraced two-bay two-storey house with dormer attic, c.1890, with single-bay two-storey lower box bay window to left. Refenestrated, c.1990. One of a terrace of four. Pitched (shared) slate roof (gabled to dormer attic window) with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, replacement square rooflight, c.1995, timber bargeboards, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings (paired to box bay window) with rendered sills, and replacement uPVC casement windows, c.1990. Square-headed door opening with replacement timber panelled door, c.1990, sidelights, and overlight. Set back from line of road with painted rendered boundary wall to forecourt having iron railings over, and iron gate.

A well-proportioned house that is representative of a component of late nineteenth-/early twentieth-century middle-size domestic architecture, incorporating features typical of the period, including box bay windows, and fine render detailing, all of which contribute to the architectural value of the composition. Although the house retains its original form and massing, the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings do not enhance the external appearance of the composition. The house, together with the remainder in the terrace (22830133 – 134, 136/WD-09-30-133 – 134, 136), forms a pleasing component of the streetscape.
