Description
A pair of houses, dating to the mid-18th century on the western side and the late 18th century on the east. The houses are constructed of red brick with plain tile roofs. They are two storeys high and feature dentilled brick eaves. Each house has two segmental-headed windows; No. 1 retains original three-light leaded casements, while No. 3 has 19th-century glazing bar casements. There is a flush panel door to No. 3, and two blocked doors are also present. Internal end stacks are visible at No. 3, and No. 1 has two original stacks on the rear slope of the roof. The houses were originally semi-detached.
