941-1/8/284 (South West side)

GV II

Pair of town houses, now offices. Probably early 1840s;
altered. Red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings
and slate roof. Double-depth plan, each house double-fronted.
Two storeys and attic, over basement, 3+3 bays, the fronts
panelled so as to give the effect of simple pilasters, plus a
one-bay side wing at the left end; with stone plinth,
1st-floor bands in the panelled bays, small moulded frieze to
prominent projected eaves with plastered coving. The
slightly-raised centre of each house has a large doorway up 3
steps, with a stone doorcase of panelled square pilasters,
frieze with rosettes, and cornice with blocking course, and a
panelled door with overlight (that at No.56 with margin
panes); and a 1st floor window with a cornice on consoles. The
windows are all 12-pane sashes with flat-arched heads, those
at ground floor recessed with panelled stone aprons and those
above with raised sills and plain reveals. No.54 has a large
modern continuous dormer in the roof, No. 56 has 2 small
dormers. The wing to the left, 2 lower storeys, has a
round-headed blind window on each floor. At each end of the
range is a ramped screen wall, that to the right with a
similar blind window and both with doorways. The right-hand
end wall of No.54 has inter alia a round-headed sashed stair
window with radiating glazing bars. Rear and INTERIOR not
inspected.
