Description
A terrace of three houses built in 1846 for the Great Western Railway Company, part of a planned village constructed to house workers for the new railway works. The village, designed by I.K. Brunel, was built in phases between 1842 and the 1850s. These three houses are constructed from coursed squared limestone rubble, with coursed rubble to the rear wall, and have asbestos slate roofs. Brick stacks are located on the party wall and the right gable. Number 1 is a two-storey, three-bay house with a central door leading to a hallway; it has two rooms deep and a 20th-century outbuilding to the rear. Numbers 2 and 3 are single bay houses, each with an inset entrance. The houses feature a low plinth, chamfered window and door surrounds—the latter with pyramid stops—and ground floor openings with label moulds. They have 20th-century fifteen-pane doors and four-pane sash windows.
