Description
Nos. 19-19 is an attractive terrace of polychromatic Victorian houses. Grey brick with bands of red brick and at window reveals. Welsh slate roofs, heavy bracketed eaves and projecting gables. Four pane sashes in arched first floor windows. To the front there is a limestone wall and hedge. No. 31, in white glazed brick, has a striking gable, projecting first floor bay and altered shopfront. Cast iron rainwater goods and black window joinery surrounds and pale string courses. Nos. 33 and 35 (Pear Tree Cottage) used to be one Georgian house in red/brown brick. It has restrained classical proportions. No. 33 has lost its 16-pane sashes and has mock shutters added. Nos. 37 and 39 are a pair of whitewashed two storey dwellings with Welsh slate roof and stone watertabling. Possibly originally one house of 18th century date. Paired black doorcases with carved hoods. One house has uPVC windows.
