Description
End-of-terrace three-bay two-storey local authority house, c.1940, retaining original aspect with single-bay single-storey flat-roofed canted projecting porch to centre. One of a terrace of four. Pitched (shared) roof with profiled clay tile, clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods, c.1990, on rendered eaves. Painted flat concrete roof to porch. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and 3/6 timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with replacement glazed timber panelled door, c.1990. Set back from road in own grounds with forecourt having hoop iron railings on unpainted rendered plinth, and hoop iron gate.
Appraisal
A well-proportioned modest-scale house, built as one of a terrace of four identical units (with 22809187/WD-21-09-187), which has been well maintained, representing the last house in the group to retain the original form and massing, together with substantial quantities of the original fabric. The house, together with the remainder of the terrace, is of particular significance as an example of local authority-sponsored housing in the mid twentieth century, and forms an appealing feature of uniform appearance in the streetscape.
