Description

A row of houses dating from the early 18th century, with a 20th-century addition to the left. The ground floor is painted brick, while the first floor is tile-hung. The roof is tiled. The building is two storeys high. A gabled cross-wing, built in the 20th century, projects slightly forward on the left. The right end of the original range is gabled. There are three brick stacks: one at the junction of the wing and the main range, another to the right of centre, and a projecting gable end stack on the right. The front windows of the original range are irregular, each a three-light casement. A half-glazed door leads to number 3 towards the left end of the main range. Number 2 has a ribbed door with a rectangular window above the central stack, and a half-glazed door is next to it on the right. Number 1 also has a half-glazed door. Four short rear wings are present; the wing on the left is from the 20th century, two are hipped in the centre, and one is gabled on the right. A stack located in the centre-right of the building is dated 1725. The interior has not been inspected.
