town in 1859 by Sir Lawrence Palk. Snecked local grey
limestone rubble with polychromatic brick and stone dressings;
slate roof (replaced with asbestos); stacks with brick shafts.
PLAN: On a corner site. Mirror plan pair; overall T-plan. Main
rooms in the front block, end on to the street with entrances
on the long outer sides. Rear wing at right-angles for
services with subsidiary service wings off to the rear.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 2-window front to Princes
Road with 2 gables, one on either side of a central corbelled
chimney stack with 4 shafts. 3-light ground floor windows one
to each house with cranked voussoirs, glazed with
high-transomed casements. 2-light first-floor windows one to
each house, each with cranked brick arch and, above it, a
pointed arched tympanum with red brick and stone decoration.
The outer return has a red brick string course; front door

2-light casement. The gable ends of the service wings are
similarly treated with polychromatic details and tympana.
