Description
These are early 19th-century terraced houses of grey gault brick, forming a group with the adjacent property. They are three storeys high with a basement, and have a parapet and a slate roof. Number 20 has two windows, which are sash windows with glazing bars, and a panelled front door with a rectangular window above it. Number 22 has three windows, these being sash windows dating to the mid-19th century, and includes a modern bay window on the ground floor. A round-headed doorway leads to a contemporary door. The group value of these properties stems from their contribution to the character of the Hills Road streetscape.
