WEYMOUTH SY6779SE WESLEY STREET 873-1/20/408 (South side) 14/06/74 Nos.25, 26 AND 27 GV II 3 houses at end of terrace. Early to mid C19. Flemish bond brickwork, slate roofs, with mansard slopes to rear only. 3 storeys, each 1 window; 12-pane sashes in reveals above bold canted sash oriels in 2:6:2-panes (no horizontal bars) and 12-pane to the ground floor. To the left in each a flush stone flat elliptical arch above shallow fanlight, with the original 6-panel door remaining to No.25 only. A small plinth, a mid plat band, and second-floor sill band, all in stone, and ridge stack to each right party wall. The rear, with concrete tile roof to No.26, is in 2 storeys plus dormer, a 4-pane sash in No.27, but large C20 steel casements to the other two. At first floor No.25 has a 4-pane, No.26 has two C20 casements, and No.27 a 12-pane sash. Although these are consistent in detail with Nos 14-24 (qv), they were probably built as the first three in the terrace, just before the others. They help to complete a street which continues the Melcombe Regis terrace tradition, and, with the opposite side of the street and the parallel Bath Street, are an interesting survival of early C19 speculative development. INTERIOR not inspected. Listing NGR: SY6787679424
