Description
A terrace of four houses, originally two, dating from around 1730. The eastern half of the south facade and part of the eastern facade were re-faced in the late 20th century. The houses are constructed of brown brick with plain brick bands dividing the floors. They have hipped tiled roofs.
The south facade is three storeys high with seven windows. It features a doorway with a panelled door and a bracketed hood. The windows are flush-framed sashes with exposed boxing on the ground and first floors, while the second-floor sashes are square-headed. The north facade has two storeys and one window, plus one blind window. There are two entrances with panelled doors and bracketed hoods, flanking a blind segmental-arched window. A plain brick band runs along the first-floor level. The eastern facade has three storeys and one window, along with a single-storey extension containing an entrance.
The interiors have not been inspected. A plaque on the eastern wall commemorates Newman Hall, a Congregational minister and hymn-writer, whose widow adapted the two original houses into homes for the elderly.
