Description
Nos 19 and 20 Sycamore Place are a pair of houses built in 1914 by Parker and Unwin for the Joseph Rowntree Village Trust. Constructed from brick with a French tile roof, these two-storey homes feature a lobby entry, with a living room and scullery at the rear. The front facade has six first-floor windows, with half-glazed doors set back in round-arched porches flanking pairs of 4-pane sash windows on the first floor. The eaves are sprocketed, and the original stacks have been removed. New Earswick is particularly significant for its role in the development of low-cost housing in Britain, with practices from this area influencing the Tudor Walters Report of 1918 and the subsequent Addison Act of 1919. Plans from New Earswick also shaped the Government Manual on low-cost housing that followed the Act.
