Description
Terraced two-bay two-storey house with dormer attic, built 1899. One of a pair forming part of a group of six houses. Pitched (shared) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack having red brick stepped capping supporting yellow terracotta pots, rooflight, pre-1992, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves having iron ties. Rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows. Round-headed door opening in shared round-headed recess with cut-granite step, moulded rendered surrounds with inner surround on padstones, and replacement timber panelled door, post-1996, having overlight. Street fronted with concrete footpath to front [VO].
Appraisal
An elegantly appointed modest-scale house built as one of a pair (second in pair not included in survey) forming part of a larger ensemble of six houses (remainder not included in survey) identified in the street scene on account of individual attributes including the slender vertical emphasis of the massing featuring a somewhat disproportionate bias of solid to void, the understated decorative programme limited to the distinctive shared doorcase, and so on. Having been well maintained, the house remains as the last in the group to present an early aspect with the original fabric surviving largely intact, thereby upholding some of the character or integrity of the collective assemblage in William Street.
