house

Terraced two-bay two-storey red brick house, c.1900, retaining original aspect. One of a terrace of five. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond (shared) chimney stacks, rendered coping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on timber eaves board. Red brick Flemish bond wall with yellow brick courses to each floor. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and 1/1 timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with replacement timber panelled door, pre-1999, and overlight. Set back from line of road with sections of wrought iron railings to front.

An attractive, well-proportioned house, built as one of a terrace of five (with 22830150, 296 - 298/WD-09-30-150, 296 - 298), that is representative of a type of domestic architecture on a small scale in the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries. The construction in red brick with yellow brick dressings produces a polychromatic visual effect typical of the period, which serves to enliven the streetscape. Well maintained, the house retains its original form and massing, together with important salient features and materials, including simple wrought iron railings that enhance the historic character of the piece.
