12 & 14 ACREFIELD ROAD, built between 1835 & 1838, Listed Grade II.

Architectural description

A pair of houses, brick at the front but stone at the sides, back and chimneys, of 2-storeys under a slate roof with lead-lined stone moulded gutter. Front doors with rubbed brick arches and fanlights, No. 14 retaining its decorative glazing, and the variety of panelled door which elsewhere Miss Gnosspelius impulsively described as the "Liverpool pattern". Four sash windows have lost their glazing bars, and the fifth, over the front doors, is blind.

In the garden of No. 14 is a small 2-storey stone building with a mono-pitch roof, of which the upper room, generously lit with two south facing sash windows and with a simple fireplace in the north wall. This was the schoolroom for Mr. Averill, added about 1850.
