35 Front Street

LOCAL LIST Terraced house with a strong presence. Part of an almost continuous terrace of 18th and 19th century houses broken only by Chicks Lane (HER 12512) and Staffords Lane (HER 12513). Nos. 5 to 35 are on the Local List. The grassy strip in front of them is part of the original village green. This strong group of buildings has a harmonious frontage, a limited palette of materials and common characteristics, but each house has been built separately and there is notable variety in style, form, size and plot width. The terrace is unified by the range of low stone, brick and stucco walls and mature beech and privet hedges to small attractive front gardens. No original railings survive. The houses are either sandstone or red brick with Welsh slate, clay pantile or plain clay tile roofs with brick or stone chimneys. The building line is stepped. No. 35 has a set of well-designed and correctly mounted modern railings with a stone plinth. Prominent Velux-style rooflights to some front roof slopes.
