Nos.1-7 (Consecutive)
Laurel Bank
II
Terrace of 7 houses. Late C19. Squared coursed sandstone with
ashlar dressings. Slate roof with decorative ridge tiles and
bracketed eaves. Planned as a balanced composition, with the
end houses emphasised by having a steeply-pitched hipped roof
over their outer 2 bays, and with the facade of No.4 in the
centre being gabled. Built on a slope, rising from left to
right with each house stepped up slightly.
Each house of 2 storeys plus attic and 3 bays. The windows are
sashes without glazing bars, although each house has one fixed
pane on the ground floor. Each house has a timber canted bay
window on a stone base, and all except Nos 2 & 3 retain
cast-iron crested railings to their hipped roofs. On the 1st
floor above each bay window are paired windows separated by a
stone mullion and with their lintel soffits cut into a
segmental arch.
Every house except for those at the ends has a similar window
in the central bay lighting the attic: all except that of the
central house rise above eaves level into a gabled stone attic
dormer. The outer houses each have 2 single attic windows
rising into separate dormers. Each house has a doorway in its
left-hand bay, with a 6-panelled door, overlight, and a stone
surround with a cornice hood carried on prominent brackets.
Between the houses are chimneys with multi-flued caps.
