worker's house — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Pair of semi-detached five-bay single-storey houses, built c. 1830, having single-bay catslide porches to front (north) elevations. Now derelict. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings having remains of single, paired and quadripartite pointed arch one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening to porches, that to west having remains of timber panelled door. Rubble stone boundary wall to front boundary.

Symmetry and pointed arch openings evidence of conscious design typical of demesne architecture. Part of the demesne of Belgrove, home of the nineteenth-century horticulturalist William Edward Gumbleton. Although in poor repair, retains form, scale and symmetry, it makes an interesting architectural feature on roadscape.
