Description

A pair of attached houses, built around 1813. They are constructed of black stucco with limestone dressings, feature party wall stacks, and have a pantile roof. The houses are arranged with a double-depth plan and are in a late Georgian style. Each house is three storeys high and has a three-window front. The pair are nearly symmetrical, articulated by giant pilaster strips to a moulded coping, wide flutes to the party wall, and outer entrance bays, with the right-hand house set back due to the rising ground, placing its entrance on the first floor. The left-hand doorway has a battered, eared architrave, a plate-glass overlight, and a six-panel door. The right-hand doorway, added in the late 19th century, is semicircular-arched with a bowed architrave of large reeds, impost blocks with roundels, a key stone, a plate-glass fanlight, and a six-panel door, sheltered by a wrought-iron porch with lattice sides. A basement doorway is also present. The outer windows are semicircular-arched, while the inner windows are flat-headed, containing 2/2-pane sashes to the left, plate-glass to the right, and 6/6-pane sashes to the right-hand entrance bay.

Inside No. 3, the entrance hall contains a stone staircase with wrought-iron balusters and curled decoration. The first-floor landing has semicircular-arched openings, a 6/6-pane sash window, and a half-glazed door. The landing also features an elliptical arch leading to a lateral open dogleg staircase with stick balusters, a curtail, ramped, wreathed, banded rail, and original cornice and shutters.

Attached to the front of the houses are rubble garden walls with rusticated ashlar piers, urn finials, and wrought-iron gates. The buildings are of group value.
