Description
A pair of houses dated to the late 18th or early 19th century, located on the south side of Harrold High Street. The houses are constructed of coursed limestone rubble, with a Welsh slate roof featuring stone gable coping. They are two storeys high. A slightly recessed central section sits between the two houses. On the first floor are sash windows arranged in a 2:1:2 pattern. The ground floor has four 3-light sash windows, and a simple, tongue-and-grooved door is located in the central section. The two main doorways have plain, rectangular fanlights, surrounds of incised pilasters, an entablature, and a doorhood.
