Description
This is a row of four houses located at Firwood Fold, likely built in the early 18th century. The first house features roughly coursed and squared rubble, while the other three are constructed of brick with a stone plinth. The buildings are two stories high and have a total of seven windows, consisting of four single-unit, double-pile plan dwellings. The doorways are plain and are flanked by lower windows, which mainly consist of twelve fixed lights. House number four shows signs of earlier openings that have since been blocked. The upper windows are two-light casements, and all windows have painted stone sills and lintels. There are end wall stacks present. The interior has not been inspected.
