2 to 12 Front Street, Lorne Terrace

Some of the first and best Victorian housing on Front Street. It replaced a ribbon development of small rural buildings including a smithy (HER 2319) and was part of the early farm clearance in the north-east corner of the village. The terrace is richly decorated with mottled brickwork, round-arched windows, stone and glazed brick string courses, slate roofs, canted dormers with punched ridge tiles, finials, moulded eaves, decorative bargeboards and shaped chimneys. Two storeys. No. 2 has been well restored. The two end units are larger and are emphasised with gables. Unfortunately No. 12 has been stripped of its detail arched windows and the façade has been pebble-dashed. Deep gardens with limestone retaining walls. A small shop beneath No. 2 on Grange Terrace has a replica traditional shopfront. LOCAL LIST
