Nos.1A AND 3-37 (Odd)

GV

Terrace of 19 cottages of unusual plan. c1850. Flemish bond
brown brick with grey slate roof, hipped at left and over
No.1A. Late Georgian style.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. No.1A is of one bay, with a canted corner
entrance; all other cottages are double fronted. Painted stone
plinth; timber doorcases with flat hoods of Classical
derivation; that to No.1A has an overlight and the timberwork
has been renewed. Window openings have stone sills and
slightly cambered rubbed-brick arches of redder hue. Ridge
chimneys. The original doors are of 4 panels and the windows
recessed sashes of 12 panes to the lower storey and 9 panes to
the upper storey. Nos 7, 9, 17, 27 and 37 have replaced doors
of 6 raised panels, in keeping; Nos 1A, 3, 5, 19, 25 and 31
have modern part-glazed small-panel doors; No.33 has an
inter-war part-glazed panelled door and Nos 21 and 29 have
flush doors or covered panels. Nos 9, 27 and, in the lower
storey, No.33 have replaced small-pane wood hopper windows;
No.19 has large-pane metal hoppers, and is included for group
value only. Brick ridge chimneys. There were originally no
rear-facing windows, but circular recesses in the gable of
each rear wing and at the mid-point of the rear wall between
gables suggest former haylofts with pitching-eyes, now
blocked. Bathrooms and windows were later inserted. In 1861
tradesmen lived here, perhaps using horses and carts, and
hence storage for hay and straw.
INTERIORS not fully inspected.
Nos 39-53 (odd) which adjoin the terrace are not included in
this, or any other item.
