Pitched slate roofs with red brick chimneystacks, timber bargeboards and finials to half-dormer windows, render eaves brackets on string course and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with render detailing to apex of dormer window and moulded render name plaque to central house. Square-headed window openings to first and ground floors, round-headed openings to dormer windows, with limestone sills, continuous render label mouldings to first and ground floor windows and hood mouldings to dormer windows. Timber casement windows to dormer window with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows to rest. Square-headed door openings with overlights to various timber panelled and half-glazed timber doors. Wrought-iron pedestrian gates with red brick boundary walls, render coping and wrought-iron railings to front of site.
Appraisal
A relatively intact terrace, which makes a substantial contribution to the character of College Road. Its symmetrical façade is enhanced by the retention of early features and materials such as the timber sash windows, cast-iron rainwater goods, and continuous render mouldings. The boundary walls and gates add to its setting and context.
