II

Terrace of 7 houses. Late C19. Squared coursed sandstone with ashlar dressings. Slate roof with decorative ridge tiles and bracketed eaves. Planned as a balanced composition, with the end houses emphasised by having a steeply-pitched hipped roof over their outer 2 bays, and with the facade of No.4 in the centre being gabled. Built on a slope, rising from left to right with each house stepped up slightly. Each house of 2 storeys plus attic and 3 bays. The windows are sashes without glazing bars, although each house has one fixed pane on the ground floor. Each house has a timber canted bay window on a stone base, and all except Nos 2 & 3 retain cast-iron crested railings to their hipped roofs. On the 1st floor above each bay window are paired windows separated by a stone mullion and with their lintel soffits cut into a segmental arch. Every house except for those at the ends has a similar window in the central bay lighting the attic: all except that of the central house rise above eaves level into a gabled stone attic dormer. The outer houses each have 2 single attic windows rising into separate dormers. Each house has a doorway in its left-hand bay, with a 6-panelled door, overlight, and a stone surround with a cornice hood carried on prominent brackets. Between the houses are chimneys with multi-flued caps.
