Description
End-of-terrace two-bay two-storey red brick house, built c. 1900, with a full-height three-sided bay window surmounted by a gabled dormer attic storey, built as part of a uniform terrace of seven houses. Shared gabled return prolonged by single-storey outbuilding. Pitched gabled slate roof with intersecting gabled dormer roof. Roof lights to front and rear span. Red brick chimneystack to apex of gabled side elevation and return, each having stringcourse, dog-tooth cornice and plain clay pots. Red brick walls laid in English garden wall bond with corbelled brick eaves course, with moulded red brick sill course doubling as frieze architrave. Dormer gable treated as a moulded rendered broken base pediment with finial to apex. Brick elevation enclosed by porch has been painted. Ruled and lined rendered gabled side elevation and roughcast rendered rear elevation. Square-headed window openings, with continuous limestone lintel bands at ground and first floor level, red brick reveals, continuous limestone or moulded red brick sill courses, one-over-one to front elevation and two-over-two timber sash windows with ogee horns and cylinder glass. Partially glazed timber-framed entrance porch without balustrade. Plain concrete entrance platform. Square-headed door opening, continuous limestone ashlar lintel, reveals and limestone threshold step. Plain doorframe with replacement panelled timber door leaf. Plain cylinder glass overlight. Porch roof with artificial slate covering. Front site partially enclosed by red brick faced plinth wall and panelled red brick pier both with painted capping stones supporting Art Nouveau inspired cast-iron railings. Tall roughcast rendered rubble stone boundary wall to side. Pedestrian access to side and rear via modern gate flush with front elevation.
Appraisal
Largely intact example within this uniform terrace of houses. The group composition of which is emphasised by the repetition of vertical elements, i.e., the full-height bay windows, the horizontal limestone lintel bands, first floor limestone sill course and red brick sill course at attic level. Loss of porch detailing has a negative effect on the character of the house.
