Cadw's description
Location
At the end of Foundry Terrace on the edge of the former foundry complex. No 17 attached at left end and the rest of the terrace (Nos 1 to 16) stepped down beyond.
History
ca 1870's?, contemporary with Nos 13 to 16 (no break in the brickwork), shown on 1887 map. Foundry House was possibly built as the foundry Manager's house.
Exterior
2-storey and basement 5-window red brick front with blue brick banding and plinth. Hipped slate roof with bracket eaves and blue brick chimney stacks. Cambered openings with blue and red brick gauged voussoirs; the ground floor windows are offset to the right and there is one blocked opening at left end. Horned 4-pane sash windows and two half glazed doors, one to extreme right end. Hoods over basement windows. Brick right end. 3-storey, 2-window left end including the 1-window No 17. The Foundry House windows (mainly sash) are deeper and that to the ground floor is a 12-pane casement beside half glazed door; 6 and 12-pane sashes to N 17 with 4-panel door.
Both forecourts have contemporary iron railings arched at the top as on Nos 1 to 16. These sweep up around the corner and step up to run along the front of Foundry House and Gorn View.
Reason for designation
Included as an especially well preserved example of industrial housing.
Group value with the remainder of Foundry Terrace and the original foundry building.
