house

Terraced two-bay two-storey house with dormer attic, c.1890, with single-bay two-storey lower box bay window to right. Refenestrated, c.1990. One of a group of three. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered (shared) chimney stacks, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods, c.1990. Painted rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings (originally paired to box bay window) with rendered sills (forming sill course to first floor), and replacement uPVC casement windows, c.1990. Round-headed door opening with rendered pilaster doorcase having keystone, frieze, entablature over, replacement glazed timber panelled door, c.1990, and overlight. Set back from line of road with painted rendered boundary wall to forecourt having iron railings over, cast-iron colonette piers, and iron gate.

A well-proportioned house that is representative of a component of late nineteenth-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. While the house retains much of its original form and massing, the inappropriate replacement fittings to the openings have not had a positive impact on the external appearance of the house. The house, together with the remainder in the group (22830140, 142/WD-09-30-140, 142), forms a pleasing component of the streetscape, and conforms to the topography of the site through the use of a slightly stepped roofline.
