1. Circa 1840, would appear to have been built as a large villa and later subdivided. Two storeys, sandstone ashlar. Long 5 bay front with very shallow centre break of 3 windows. Hipped slate roof with corniced chimneys. Quoin pilasters, frieze, moulded cornice and blocking course broken forward over the pilasters and over the centre break, the blocking course being slightly heightened in each case. First floor sill band dies into quoin pilasters. Revealed sashes, with quoins down to sill band on first floor. The central first floor window blind with eared architrave surround. On the ground floor the outer windows are tripartite with flanking Tuscan pilasters and shallow leaf moulded consoles capping the dividers, deep entablatures with projecting cornices. Central entrance with 4 panel door and rectangular marginal glazed fanlight, flanked by Tuscan pilasters, entablature with projecting cornice and blocking course. Later side entrances. Nos 6 and 8 probably date from the late 1830s as one house.
