Pair of attached houses. Dated 1898. By Henry Dare Bryan.
Snecked limestone rubble and dressings, tile-hung top floor,
brick ridge and diagonally-set external gable stacks and
double Roman tile gable and hip roof. Double-depth plan. Queen
Anne style.
3 storeys and basement; 5-window range. A finely detailed
near-symmetrical pair, of which No.47 turns the corner into
Julian Road, with entrances set back at the sides, and
projecting paired gables to the middle; ground-floor
stone-framed windows, first- and second-floor timber windows.
Elliptical arches to doorways with winged cupids to the
spandrels, beneath a panel with eared architrave, and 2-leaf
panelled doors.
The central gables are banded with coped tops and ball
finials, ground-floor Ipswich windows beneath panels with
large cartouches, and first- and second-floor 5-light canted
bays set flush with the gable under a wide overhanging brick
and stone arch. Outer windows have 3 lights, with fine leaded
casements to the left, and forming a balustraded balcony to
the right; to the second-floor shallow bracketed eaves dormers
with raked roofs; windows to the right have glazing bars to
metal casements, with plate glass to the left.
Large patterned stacks, and in the left return a matching
gable to the front ones. Flat rear elevations with stair
windows and single-storey service blocks. INTERIOR not
inspected.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: attached front garden walls and piers
