Description
Nos 45 and 47 are a pair of houses built in 1875, attributed to the architect Richard Norman Shaw for Robert Martin. They are constructed from coursed dressed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and feature a stone tiled roof laid in diminishing courses. The houses have gable-end parapets with kneelers, gabled finials, and an ashlar ridge stack with four shafts and moulded capping and base.
These buildings are single storey with an attic, featuring half-dormers and a chamfered plinth. Each house has two bays, with windows that are chamfered mullioned type, consisting of three lights with hoodmoulds on the ground floor. The gabled half-dormers also have gabled finials, and there are two-light and three-light windows with dripmoulds.
The entrance to No 45, located on the right, has a doorway with a 4-centred head and hoodmould, above which is a datestone inscribed "RM/1875". No 47 has a similar entrance in its left gable end. Both gable ends feature attic lights and a loophole at the apex. Additionally, there is a service wing at the rear of No 45. This building shares a similar design, detail, and date with Nos 48 and 49 nearby.
