GV II

3 double pairs of houses. Circa mid C19. Stock brick, stuccoed ground floors and
band below eaves. Welsh slate hipped roofs with deeply overhanging eaves on

Plan: Group of 3 symmetrically planned blocks, each block contains 4 houses of

on the front and the end houses have doorways in 3-storey porches set back of the
sides. Exterior: 3 storeys and basement, each block has a symmetrical 1:4:1 window
front, the narrow end bays set back are 3 storey porches. The ground floors and
basements are stuccoed and there is a deep entablature over the ground floor which
breaks forward at the doorways which have stuccoed pilasters with capitals. There
is a deep stuccoed band and brackets under the eaves. Original 12-pane sashes
except for No 5 which has C20 plastic windows and the first floor window of No 2
which is a late C19 canted bay with sashes complete with glazing bars. All the
doors except for Nos 8, 9 and 12 are C20 replacements. Some of the houses have
their C19 balustrades to the doorways but only No 3 has its C19 area railings.
No 1 has a garage in the basement with a large doorway at the front. The rear
elevations are of random brick rubble, largely unaltered and retain the original
sash windows except for Nos 1 and 5 which are rendered and No 5 has plastic windows.
