Description

Nos. 18 to 25, North End Square, a row of seven terraced houses and nos. 14 and 15, North End Square, a pair of semidetached cottages. With the exception of no. 25 which is situated slightly forward of the other properties, the cottages create a strong and continuous building line which provides enclosure. The gently rising contours of the ground which slope from south-east to northwest give the row of buildings greater prominence. The buildings in this row are quite eclectic in their appearance and range from one and a half to three storeys in height. Nos. 22 and 24 are rendered, but the remainder present exposed brick elevations to the street. With the exception of no.25, which is positioned gable on-to the street and has a shallow pitched slate hipped roof, all the buildings have slate gabled roofs of various pitches with ridges running parallel to the street. No. 18 is particularly eyecatching with its prominent gabled dormers breaking through the eaves line and buff coloured decorative brickwork. The majority of the original windows and doors of these properties have been replaced with modern double-glazed and UPVc units. Local Building of Note within the Conservation Area of Buckingham (B1).
