Description
Two houses, built around 1760-1761 with later alterations, located in Stratford-upon-Avon. They are constructed of brick with stucco dressings and feature a hipped tile roof with brick stacks at the ends, ridge, and rear. The buildings are two storeys high with an attic and have a four-window range in the Georgian style.
The façade includes a stucco plinth and a top cornice. The former entrance, positioned to the right of centre, is framed by Tuscan pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice, with an inserted window featuring a 12-pane horned sash. The windows are set with sills and rusticated wedge lintels with keys above the 12-pane sashes. On the ground floor, there are two windows to the left of the entrance and three to the right, including a right end window with a tripartite sash arranged as 4:12:4 panes.
On the first floor, there is a window above the entrance that has a 19th-century cast-iron window box. To the left, a 19th-century canted oriel window is supported by brackets and has a flush-panelled apron, along with a top frieze and cornice, featuring a 4:12:4-pane horned sash. The roof includes three gabled dormers with 2-light casements.
The returns of the building have modillioned brick cornices and entrances. At the rear, there is a two-storey wing with a 19th-century half-hipped cross wing and a re-entrant porch on the left return.
