Description
A row of three houses, built around 1830 and extended to the rear. The houses are timber-framed, with a stuccoed front facade and exposed timber framing to the rear and end walls. They have a low-pitched slate roof and a grey brick end stack. The houses are arranged in a single range. They are two storeys high. The front elevations remain unaltered. Each house has a symmetrical facade featuring three flush frame, twelve-pane hung sashes in open boxing. The central doorway of each house has a moulded architrave, a narrow hood supported by cut brackets, and a six-panelled door. Above each door is a rectangular fanlight with swagged glazing bars. Each doorway is flanked by a tripartite hung sash and a twelve-pane hung sash, matching those at the first floor. In 1842, the houses were owned by William French and occupied by George Jackson, a corn factor, and James Mumford.
