Description
Nos. 13 and 15 The Folds are two houses built around 1892 by Grayson and Ould. They feature a timber frame on a stone base, with a stone ground floor extending to the second bay and a hipped tile roof. The houses are one story with an attic and consist of two bays. The first bay projects forward under a gable and has a jettied first floor. The ground floor includes a five-light canted oriel window with a hipped roof and a two-light double-chamfered-mullioned window in the second bay, which was likely originally a four-light window with two missing mullions. The first floor has a four-light window in the first bay and a three-light gabled half-dormer in the second bay. All windows feature leaded glazing. There is a cross-axial stack, and the left return has coved eaves with a jettied first floor gabled bay and a door with a cambered head and vertical strips. The right return also has a jettied first floor gabled bay and a canopied entrance.
