Pair of small town houses. c.1830, altered. Red brick in Flemish bond but No.47 remodelled with sandstone dressings and slate roof. Square block, No.47 (forming the southern half) double-depth and single-fronted to the street, and No.48 (the northern half) single-depth with a double-fronted facade to the north. Two storeys over cellars, 3 first-floor windows in each facade, with plain frieze and moulded gutter cornice carried round. The doorways, to the left at No.47, and in the centre at No.48, up 3 and 2 steps respectively (No.47 with nosings) have round-headed architraves with set-in Tuscan quarter-columns, plain lintels, and semicircular fanlights with hollow-moulded surrounds. Both facades have 2 windows at ground floor and 3 above, all with raised sills and wedge lintels (but altered glazing). The Chaddock Street facade has 2 cellar windows with wedge lintels. Roof hipped over right-hand corner, with one chimney on the ridge and another on the right-hand slope. The left return wall (to Bairstow Street) is gabled, and has 2 windows on each floor (the 2nd at 1st floor blind). Extensions to rear. INTERIORS not inspected. Forms part of an almost complete set of late Georgian lower-middle class houses in this street.
