Holly Bank House & Myrtle Bank House, Victoria Road
Holly Bank House and Myrtle Bank House are a pair of semi-detached two storey houses constructed of brick with tiled roofs. The natural unglazed brownish bricks are exposed on the ground floor at the front and sides the second floor being roughcast and 1/2 timbered on the front elevation where the roof pitch is turned so that the bedroom windows are organised into a series of four gables. Small windows also appear in the attic of the central pair of these 4 gables and the timber applied detailing emphasises their presence as a feature of the facade decoration. The rear elevations by comparison are simple statements of rectangular windows in roughcast wall surfaces. No interior inspections have been performed. Both properties appear to be in good repair and still maintaining their original details including windows. The buildings have architectural interest resulting from their author and because they were speculatively built by him and may therefore be assumed to reflect a combination of his own and public taste of the time.
