House and 2 cottages, one now united with house. Early C18 with C19
alterations.
MATERIALS: Painted rough render with painted ashlar dressings; boulder
plinth on right return. The roof has French tiles with stone gable copings and
rendered and brick chimneys.
EXTERIOR: 2-storey range with 5 first floor windows. There is a 3-bay house at the left with a renewed central door in the panelled reveals of a flat Tuscan door case with a prominent cornice. c. 1900 square ground-floor bay
windows with 4 front lights and one in each return, under top cornices. All
of the windows have glazing bars and the 3 first-floor sashes have projecting sills. Attached to the 3-bay house there are 2 single bay cottages with similar
sashes in the centre of each one-bay cottage and paired central doors (the left 3-panel) with overnights. The steeply pitched roof has right end gable coping on moulded kneelers, which supports a banded and rendered end chimney. There is a banded brick chimney at the left end and at the right of the third bay. The right return has a small, renewed first-floor window and a single throughstone in the gable peak.
INTERIOR: Not inspected
REASON FOR DESIGNATION DECISION: These C18 townhouses are designated for the following principal reasons:
* They display a good survival of historic fabric
* Externally they are intact and possess much character
* Two different forms of early C18 town house building are present
