Description

This is an early 19th century pair of stuccoed buildings on London Road. They have slate roofs with gabled ends and a parapet. The buildings are three storeys high, with a 1:2:1:2:1 window arrangement. The central and end sections project slightly, and the parapet is raised above them. Pilasters mark the ground and first floors. Continuous cornices run above the ground and first floors. The ground floor and three first-floor windows are framed by moulded architraves. The windows are sash windows without glazing bars. Two first-floor and one second-floor windows have been blocked up. There are two modern doors with rectangular fanlights. The central ground floor has been converted to glazed garage doors.
