Description

A pair of houses dating from the late 18th century. They are timber framed and have weatherboard cladding, with some of the upper boards being beaded. The roof is covered with plain tiles, and is half-hipped to the left and gabled to the right. A rear stack is located on the right side. The houses sit on a rendered plinth. The windows are irregularly placed, featuring two three-light wooden casements on each floor. The ground floor windows have twenty-four panes of glass, thin glazing bars, and moulded architraves. A panelled door is at the left end of the houses, and a door with six flush panels is located to the right of centre of No. 1. A weatherboarded lean-to is at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
