Description

This is a group of four villas, dating to the early 19th century and altered in the 20th century. The front and left return fronts are whitewashed stucco, while the right return front is roughcast. They are arranged around a central courtyard and each villa has an L-shaped plan. Numbers 27 and 31 face the street, with numbers 29 and 33 at the rear.

The street frontage is characterised by a low screen wall with a four-centred arched panel and an ogee-headed doorway leading to the courtyard. Each cottage has deep eaves and a two-light casement window with intersecting tracery under an ogee head on each floor. The first-floor windows to the right have shutters, while those on the ground floor to the left are sheltered by scallop-edged canopies. Small recessed bays with hexagonal windows are set back in the angles, with a pentice on the ground floor of the bay on the left.

The right-hand return front has projecting square ends with a recessed central range. There are blocked windows in the left and right corners of each floor, and four glazing-bar sash windows across the central section of each floor, two to each cottage. A panelled door is located in the re-entrant angle on the left (number 31), leading to a porch with a flat roof and trelliswork. A similar door is on the right (number 33) with a flat-roofed porch and arched entrance. The left-hand return front has similar blocked windows in the projecting square bays, and four glazing-bar sash windows across the centre. Doors are located in the re-entrant angles on the left (number 29) and right (number 27). The rear elevation features casement windows with ogee heads.

Inside, some 19th-century fireplace surrounds remain.
