Description

Windsor House and No 21 are a pair of houses built around 1900, constructed of red brick with a roof made of concrete corrugated tiles. They are two storeys high with a dormer attic. The properties are divided by banded quoins and each features a full-height canted bay under a gabled dormer. To the right of the north property, there is a transomed mullioned window. The bay windows also have transoms and mullions. A polygonal corner turret rises to a truncated pyramid roof covered in scalloped machine tiles. No 21 is significant as the birthplace and childhood home of the composer Benjamin Britten, who lived from 1913 to 1975.
