Nos. 56 to 64, Hyde Vale form a group. Nos. 56 and 58 are an early to mid-18th century pair of houses. Each is three storeys high with a basement, and has two windows. They are built of reddish-brown brick, with a rebuilt parapet concealing hipped roofs covered in pantiles, with ridges running at right angles to the road. New brickwork is present at the south angle. The sash windows have renewed glazing bars, except for three original windows on the second floor. They are set within flush, moulded frames, with flat, red brick arches above. The front doors consist of two flat panels, four fielded panels, with reeded cornices and rectangular fanlights (the fanlight at No. 56 is patterned), all beneath renewed cornice hoods supported on curved brackets. No. 60 is an early to mid-18th century house of three storeys and sunk basement, with two windows. It has a painted brick front concealing a hipped, pantiled roof with ridge at right angles to the road, behind a parapet. The windows are replaced recessed sash windows with glazing bars, set within flat brick arches. The ground floor windows are wider and have added louvred external shutters. The front door has two flat, two fielded, and two glazed panels, beneath a renewed cornice hood supported on curved brackets.
