Description
A substantial built form of three houses dating to the late 19th century that illustrates the development of the settlement in which it stands. The building is set within gardens to the front and back.
The building retains its overall original scale, massing and design. Chimneys (although not all chimney pots) and slate roof with clay ridge tiles and finials survive. The houses at Nos. 13 and 15 are a mirrored pair when seen from the front. No.17 maintains the rhythm of bay windows on this street frontage but turns the corner so that its side elevation becomes its principal and most substantial elevation. The coordinated design includes rear outriggers - two storey on No. 13 and paired three storey on Nos. 15 and 17. The street frontage and east elevation are all in red brick but where a different red brick is used for the bay windows and for other architectural detailing. Limited use of stone for cills and door head keystones.
The existing window and door openings appear original and if any windows or doors are not original they look appropriate in design to the age and design of the building although a closer inspection would be required.
No.17 has a single storey rear extension but to a design that compliments and retains the legibility of the original house.
