Description

Cavanaleck (Number 195) and Overlaw (Number 197) are two houses built between 1903 and 1904 by architects Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin. They are constructed of roughly coursed gritstone with ashlar dressings and feature tiled roofs with overhanging eaves and moulded wooden barge boards, along with a part rendered brick stack. The style is Vernacular Revival.

The buildings are two storeys high with an attic and basement, presenting an irregular, twin-gabled front with four windows. The single-storey center has two small 2-light mullion windows above two basement doors, topped by a 3-light raking dormer window. The left gable features a canted ground floor corner bay window with four lights, a single light window to the right, and a 3-light mullion window above. The projecting right gable has two 4-light mullion windows on each floor that wrap around the corners. The right return includes an off-centre doorway accessed by steps, set within an arched opening with angled sides, and features a part glazed plank door with iron studs. Above this doorway is a 4-light mullion window, and to the right is a two-storey projecting gable wing with two 4-light mullion windows on each floor that also wrap around the corners, along with another 4-light mullion window in the main gable. The left return has similar window arrangements, and all windows have square leaded casements.

Inside, the houses are reputed to retain many original features, including exposed ceiling joists in the sitting room, an inglenook with a stone fireplace featuring a copper hood and settles, bookshelves above, and a recess for a clock above the bressumer. The plain staircase has a solid timber string and full height newels, while the design of the window furniture shows an Art Nouveau influence.
