SY6683 DORCHESTER ROAD, Broadwey 873-1/8/431 (West side) 14/06/74 Nos.707-715 (Odd)

GV II

4 houses in row. Early to mid C19. Coursed and squared Portland stone with Broadmayne brick dressings, slate roofs. No.715 was probably built as a semi-detached pair (with No.713), but a one-bay infill, slightly set back, later linked with No.711. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; the windows are generally sashes to splayed flush lintels and stone sills, but brick alternating jambs. No.707 has a 16-pane sash at each level, with an arched doorway with flush stone surround over a 6-panel door with fanlight, to the right, but No.709 has C20 plain casements and a C20 door. No.711 has 12-pane sashes, and a C20 door in arched head, but without fanlight; the right bay is the inset section. The end house, formerly a pair, has wide-spaced 4-pane sashes, and a C20 lean-to porch and door. There are 5 ridge stacks. INTERIOR: not inspected. Although probably built at one time, the development seems to have been sporadic, rather than as a terrace; with Nos 701-705 (qv) this group of cottages is the longest surviving range of this date in Broadwey, with the frontage substantially intact (apart from the C20 window intrusion in No.709). The group is linked as one long terrace with Nos 701-705 (qv).
