Description
These are early 19th century villas, originally of low and wide proportions. Numbers 55 and 57 stand two storeys high with three windows each. Number 55 has a later addition to its left-hand side. The villas are rendered in stucco with incised lines to create detail. They have low-pitched slate roofs with eaves soffits; the soffit on the left side of number 55 is supported by brackets. The windows are sash windows with margin lights, and the doors have fluted quadrant pilasters, a cornice head, and patterned fanlights. An additional door has been added to the left bay of number 55.
