Description
This is a pair of early 19th-century houses, later adapted for use as offices. The building is constructed of red brick with a slate roof featuring decorative eaves and two gable stacks plus one ridge stack. The two-storey, eight-bay front has a doorway on the right side, marked by a reeded doorcase, a bracketed hood, a traceried overlight, and a panelled door. This doorway is flanked by single sash windows with glazing bars. To the left of this doorway is a tripartite sash window, beyond which is another doorway with a reeded doorcase, bracketed hood, overlight and double plank doors. A further tripartite sash window is located to the left of this doorway, followed by a doorway with a segmental head and a 20th-century plank door. Above, there are four two-light sliding sashes to the left and three glazing bar sashes to the right. All windows feature segmental heads.
