Description

Numbers 26 and 28 are a pair of semi-detached houses built in the early to mid-19th century and altered around 1976. They are constructed of stucco. The houses are two storeys high with semi-basements, and originally had five windows, but now have four (Number 26 has only one). Number 28 features a central recessed entrance bay. A central portico with fluted Doric columns supports a panelled door and overlight. Number 26 has a recessed side portico with a similar doorway. The windows are architraved sashes. A cornice and blocking course top the façade. The interiors were not inspected. Attached cast-iron railings are present to the front areas.
