Description
Nos 3 and 4 Sycamore Place are a pair of houses built in 1914 by Parker and Unwin for the Joseph Rowntree Village Trust. Constructed from brick, they feature a French tile roof. Each house has a lobby entry that leads to a living room and a scullery at the rear. The buildings are two storeys high with six first-floor windows. The outer bays have half-glazed doors set in round-arched porches, flanking pairs of 4-pane sash windows on the first floor. The eaves are sprocketed, and the stacks have been removed. New Earswick is particularly significant for its role in the development of low-cost housing in Britain. The experiences and practices established here were influential in the Tudor Walters Report of 1918, which contributed to the passing of the Addison Act of 1919. Plans from New Earswick also shaped the Government Manual on low-cost housing that followed the Act.
