Description
Two houses were built as a terrace in the 19th century, likely with earlier origins. They are constructed of yellow stock brick and extend over four storeys plus basements. Each house originally featured two windows. The front incorporates a wooden shopfront with pilasters supporting an entablature and projecting cornice. The shop windows and doorways have been altered. The original house doorways retain fanlights and panelled doors. The recessed sash windows have gauged flat brick arches, with glazing bars and margin lights to the rear windows. Parapets top the building. The interiors have not been inspected.
