Description

This is a terrace of five small houses built around 1840. The houses are constructed from chequer brick with yellow headers, set on a limestone-ashlar plinth, and feature a Welsh-slate roof with brick stacks. Each house has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall. The front of each house includes a 12-pane unhorned sash window on the ground and first floors, along with a 9-pane sash window on the second floor. The doors are arranged alternately to the right and left of the windows. All openings are topped with red-brick segmental arches. The rear of the terrace is rendered and includes 20th-century windows. The interiors have not been inspected. This terrace is included for its group value.
