LYTHAM ST ANNES

SD32NW REGENT AVENUE, Ansdell

GV II

Pair of small cottages, now derelict. Later C18 (said to be
dated 1767 in interior); altered and extended in C19.
Mostly hand-made brick, raised by 6 courses of common brick,
with roof mostly of corrugated asbestos sheet (replacing
thatch), and some slate over addition at west end.
Linear single-depth 4-bay plan, plus added bay at west end and
2 added lean-to extensions to rear.
One-and-a-half storeys raised to 2 low storeys, with 4 windows
irregularly spaced at 1st floor.
The former eaves line is marked by a saw-tooth brick band with
a coping of stone slate which steps slightly over the upper
windows; the openings are irregularly disposed, being offset
towards the left, with a doorway at the left-hand end, two
2-light windows at ground floor and 2 smaller ones above
these, then a blocked doorway, another doorway, a larger
2-light window to the right of this and a small one above and
between them; further to the right a very small square window
at mid-level (probably for staircase) and at the right-hand
end an altered window at ground floor and a 2-light window
directly above.
Most of these windows appear to be sliding sashes: at ground
floor, 6+6, 12+12 and 12+12 panes; and at 1st floor, 2+2,
altered, 6+6 and 4+4 panes.
The addition at the left end (probably a dairy or similar
service room) has a gable wall partly built of cobblestones.
Double chimney stack on centre of ridge, and single chimneys
at both (original) gables.
Rare survival of pre-industrial domestic building.
