Description
These are a pair of small townhouses located in Preston, dating from the mid-19th century. They are constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. Each house has a double-depth plan and a single front, with extensions to the rear. They are two storeys high, with cellars beneath. Each house has one window at the first floor level.
The front elevation features a stone plinth, a first-floor sill band, a plain frieze, and a moulded gutter cornice. The doorways, grouped together in a triplet with a through-lobby doorway between the houses, have moulded architraves and cornices resting on consoles with guttae. Each house has one window on each floor, all with raised sills and wedge lintels including keystones. The windows at No. 29 are sash windows, while those at No. 28 have been altered. The building has ridge chimneys. The rear of the properties and their interiors have not been inspected.
