Description
Terraced two-bay two-storey house with attic, built c.1880 as part of a group of six identical properties. The façade is finished in brick, with a painted brick surround to the entrance, a rendered and bracketed eaves course, and a panelled Giant order pilaster to the western edge of the front elevation. The slated pitched roof has a gabled dormer, and a shared brick chimneystack. The entrance consists of a panelled timber door with pilaster jambs, dentilled entablature and plain segmental fanlight. The windows are a mixture of segmental and flat-headed and have replacement uPVC frames and painted stone sills. The window to the ground floor of the front elevation has a decorative moulded keystone in the form of the Prince of Wales feathers. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The house fronts on to a street but is separated from it by a small garden enclosed by a brick wall with arched recesses, rendered coping, and a wrought-iron gate with rendered piers.
Appraisal
This well preserved property and its five identical neighbours constitute one of Bray’s more distinctive later Victorian terraces, the grouping contributing much to the streetscape and the unusual Prince of Wales feathers keystone lifting the whole row that little bit above the ordinary.
