Description
22 and 24 Kings End are a pair of houses built in the mid to late 18th century, with alterations made in the early 20th century. They are constructed from coursed limestone rubble, featuring some ashlar dressings, and have concrete plain-tile roofs with brick stacks at the ends. The houses have a double-depth plan and rise to two storeys plus an attic. Each house has a symmetrical two-window front, with a central panelled door that is topped by a flat canopy. There are two renewed two-light casements on each floor, with the original openings having ashlar flat arches. The attic windows are located in half dormers. The interiors have not been inspected. These houses are included for their group value.
