Description
This is a pair of terraced houses dating from the 18th century, with later extensions to the right side. The lower part of the front is built of uncoursed rubble stone with a red brick band. The upper part is of square-coursed rubble. The roof is tiled, with a central ridge and end chimneys. The houses have two floors and four windows, featuring glazing bar sash windows. A canted bay window is located in the second window from the right. The entrances are situated near the centre of the building, with half-glazed doors topped by pediments supported on brackets. To the right is another entrance with a panelled door and a similar pedimented bracketed hood.
