Description
Nos 10 and 12 Sycamore Avenue are a pair of semi-detached houses built in 1914 by Parker and Unwin for the Joseph Rowntree Village Trust. They feature a lobby-entry plan with a living room and scullery side by side, along with a coal shed and WC located in an outbuilding. The houses are constructed of brick and topped with a French tile roof. They are two storeys high and have four first-floor windows with a shared central gable. Each house has half-glazed doors and standard "New Earswick" window panes throughout. The entrances are beneath segmental arches, with 2-light and single-light casements on either side, and an outbuilding at each end. On the first floor, there are 2-light casements in the gable and single-light casements in the outer bays. The original stacks have been removed. New Earswick is 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.
