Description
A row of four houses, originally dating to the 17th century but substantially recased in the 18th century. Numbers 11, 13, and 13A have a stuccoed exterior, while number 15 has painted brickwork. All have plain tile roofs, with half-hipped gables at the right end. Brick stacks are located to the left and right of numbers 13 and 13A, and a rendered stack sits on the rear pitch of number 15.
The houses are two storeys and have attics. Number 11 has one bay, while numbers 13 and 13A each have two bays. Number 11 features a 20th-century door flanked by pilasters, with a flat corniced hood supported by shaped brackets. To the right of the door is a 20th-century three-light casement window. Numbers 13 and 13A have a pair of 20th-century doors at the centre, flanked by pilasters and paired six-pane sash windows, all set under a deep frieze and projecting cornice. Number 15 has a 20th-century replacement rectangular bay window with fixed glazing, twelve panes at the front and two panes on each side, and a bracketed plain cornice above. On the first floor, number 11 has a 20th-century two-light four-pane casement; numbers 13 and 13A have two six-pane sash windows; and number 15 has two late 19th-century four-pane sash windows. Projecting brick courses mark the eaves of numbers 13, 13A, and 15. Each house has a hipped dormer window.
The right return of number 15 has a central 20th-century door with flanking three-light casement windows. A late 19th-century four-pane sash window is located on the first floor, set under a slightly cambered arch. A 20th-century garage extension is attached to the right side. The interior remains uninspected.
