NZ2764NW CHEVIOT MOUNT 1833/27/10172 1-115 with attached fences, 22-JAN-07 steps and timber heating ducts

Formerly listed as: NZ2764NW CARVILLE ROAD 1833/27/10172 Byker - Carville Road 22-JAN-07 1-115 Cheviot Mount with attached fenc es, steps and timber heating ducts

GV II* Ten short terraces, of houses and flats (two flats per longer terrace) four pairs and one detached house. 1978-80 by Ralph Erskine's Arkitektkontor; site architect Vernon Gracie; structural engineer, White, Young and Partners; main contractor, Fairclough Building Limited. Orange/ red brick metric modular brick construction with carefully toning mortar, concrete block internal walls; Marley Modern tiled roofs. Two storeys carefully following the horizontal contours of the steeply sloping site and angled to the view, the flats forming the south-eastern end units (at the white ends). The fall of the land exploited in split level units, the entrance (north) side with kitchen windows at ground level. Black weatherboarding to north-west end extended on each side as fencing, white weatherboarding to south east renewed in uPVC, with bird boxes on each gable. Projecting timber balcony at first floor to upper flat, found on terraces of more than three units. Entrance front with boldly coloured doors next to triangular staircase windows, and narrow eaves windows to first floor over bold brown timber projecting band carrying heating pipes. Projecting weatherboarded out shuts to end units, the others with brown timber door hoods suspended from the deep eaves. Timber windows, those to south larger with aluminium opening lights. Interiors not inspected. Black, brown and green fences an integral part of the composition. Pale brown boxing to heating ducts a key part of this hillside development, such as links Nos. 17 and 21; 31, 45 and 51; 61,75 and 81; 91, 99 and 107. Nos. 91-95 with black fences on red brick walls. Particularly prominent steps with granite sets to no. 95. No. 97 detached, with projecting porch and down pipes forward of deep eaves and black weatherboarded ends. These were the first of a new type of housing, developed by Erskine to make the most of the exceptionally steep slopes and fine views of the Carville Road area. Newcastle City Council asked Erskine to use concrete tiles rather than the metal sheeting he preferred, and the Marley Modern tiles were found to be the only ones effective at the shallow pitches required. The Council also asked for these houses to be of brick and block work construction rather than predominantly of timber, but Erskine had already produced this design with timber ends (which he saw as a deterrent to vandalism) and adapted the internal construction in January 1978. Its more sophisticated palette of dark tones contrasted with black and white end walls and brightly painted doors makes an interesting foil to the primary colours of the rest of the estate.
