Description
Two houses, originally one building, were constructed in the early 19th century. They are situated on Church Street, Chesterton. The front elevation is of gault brick with a tile roof and symmetrical design. A band runs below the parapet. The windows are set within flat brick arches and feature glazing bars. Doorways are recessed and contain six-panelled doors. Number 13 retains its original ornamental metal fanlight. The rear walls are of plastered timber framing. Records indicate a connection to No 5 Chapel Street.
