Description
Numbers 4-8 form a house, likely dating from the late 18th century, and now divided into three separate dwellings. The building is constructed of red brick with a slate roof and brick end stacks. It is two storeys high and originally had a two-window front. A 19th-century double-sash door, with a fanlight above, is centrally positioned. All windows are 12-pane sashes. A flat brick band runs between the ground and first floors, and there is a dentil cornice at the eaves. The interior remains unexamined. Original 19th-century railings are present along the front of the property.
