Description
This is a pair of small houses dating from the early 19th century. They are constructed of roughly-coursed granite and elvan rubble with dressed granite quoins, jambstones, and lintels, and have slate sills. The roof is covered in asbestos slate, with a gable end to the left and adjoining a taller house to the right. A brick chimney sits centrally over the dividing wall between the two houses.
The houses are designed with a somewhat unusual plan; each is a mirror image of the other, featuring a kitchen/living room on one side and a smaller room, likely a pantry, on the other. An entrance lobby sits between these rooms. A shallow room or staircase may be located behind each pantry. The living rooms are positioned on either side of a shared chimney stack.
The east front is two storeys high and has an overall arrangement of four windows. Each house presents a slightly asymmetrical two-window front, with an off-centre doorway, a large window on the wider side, and a smaller window on the narrower side, which accommodates the pantry. The front door is a 20th-century replacement, while the original windows retain 16-pane hornless sashes. The interiors have not been inspected. The plan type is an unusual one, likely dictated by the shallow depth of the plot, which resulted in service rooms being situated to the sides rather than at the rear.
