house

Semi-detached four-bay two-storey house with dormer attic, c.1910, with two-bay two-storey gabled advanced end bay to right, and single-bay two-storey side elevation to south-east having single-bay single-storey projecting porch. Extensively renovated, pre-1999. One of a pair. Pitched (shared) roof (gabled to end bay) with replacement artificial slate, pre-1999, clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stacks having yellow brick dressings, replacement square rooflights, pre-1999, timber bargeboards, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Unpainted roughcast walls. Square-headed window openings (one round-headed window opening to side (south-east) elevation) with rendered sills. Replacement uPVC casement windows, pre-1999, retaining original 1/1 timber sash window to round-headed opening having margins. Square-headed door opening with replacement timber panelled door, pre-1999. Set back from road with forecourt having unpainted rendered wall with rendered piers.

An attractive, middle-size house, built as one of a pair, which retains its original form and massing, although the external appearance is not enhanced by the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings. The house, together with the second in the pair (22830082/WD-09-30-82), makes a positive contribution to the streetscape value of Passage Road, while the brick work to the chimney stack introduces a touch of polychromy to an otherwise monochrome design.
