Description

This is a terrace of three houses, now used as ground-floor shops, dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century. The buildings are constructed of colourwashed brick laid in Flemish bond and stucco, topped with a plain clay-tiled roof that has a hipped end on the left (east). There is a corbelled brick cornice and a square brown brick chimneystack with four long orange clay pots positioned on the ridge to the right of the center.

The exterior features two storeys. On the first floor, there are three recessed 16-pane sash windows set in reveals beneath rubbed brick segmental arches. The ground floor has three late 19th-century closed plate-glazed windows with timber frames; the left and center windows include pierced cast-iron ventilator strips at the top, along with three recessed half-glazed doors. At the rear, there are three sash windows on the first floor above single-storey lean-tos for Nos. 34 and 36. The interior has been opened out, and the ground floor was not inspected.
