Terrace of 8 dwellings. 1844-48. Probably by Charles Reed.
Ashlar-faced with Welsh slate roof. 3 storeys, planned as a
symmetrical series (2-4-4-4-2), the outer and central sections
advanced. Outer units have side entrances in recessed 2-storey
porches, and 2 bays to front elevation, inner dwellings have
narrower plan, with doorway and single window on ground floor.
Rusticated ground floor, with round, plain and
segmentally-arched windows, and 4-panelled doors with
overlights in stressed architraves. Upper windows have
architraves with stressed entablatures carried on console
brackets. 12-pane sashes renewed to ground floor. Central pair
stressed with tripartite sash windows, and door in Ionic
entrance porches. Cornice with urn and blocking course. Gable
and axial stacks. The buildings form part of the original
development in Claughton, laid out by Reed for Sir William
Jackson from the early 1840's.

Claughton in 1844).
