STOURPORT ON SEVERN

SO8171SW LICHFIELD STREET 589-1/9/43 (North side) 05/07/50 Nos.5-8 (Consecutive)

GV II

Block of 4 houses, built as a single design. c1800. Brick with Welsh slate roof. 3-storeyed, each dwelling a single bay. Central section symmetrical, but overall symmetry disrupted by Victorian addition and partial rebuilding to No.8. Two outer, and 2 central doorways in pedimented cases with traceried fanlights over 6-panelled doors. Central doorways form a pair and the pediments spring from a single central architrave. Windows are 16-pane sashes (8-pane to attic), with segmentally arched brick heads and stone sills, some renewed in original openings. Dentilled eaves band, gable end stacks. No. 8 has a shallow pitched, 2-storeyed, late C19 addition housing upper "ballroom". An original doorcase survives, suggesting that this section is in fact a partial rebuild of an earlier bay. A later flat-roofed extension (also C19) projects forward of the building line. Original staircases with moulded open string and several marble and slate fire-places remain inside.
