Description
A pair of houses, dating to circa 1840. The houses are built of painted stucco with a hipped slate roof and a central brick ridge stack. They have a double-depth plan.
Architecturally, the houses are three storeys high and display a symmetrical, two-window facade. Decorative scroll brackets support the wide eaves, and there is an eaves band, a first-floor sill band, and a plinth. Banded pilasters are present on the ground floor, and rusticated quoins adorn the upper floors. Moulded architraves and bracketed sills further enhance the exterior. The second floor features six-over-six-pane sash windows. The first floor has six-over-six-pane tripartite windows with cornices resting on consoles. The ground floor also has similar windows, each topped with a shallow broken pediment. The entrance to number 30 is located on the left return, consisting of a 20th-century eight-panel door sheltered by a prostyle Tuscan porch with a later lean-to roof. A six-over-six-pane sash window is in the front corner of the second floor, and a blind window faces the rear. The right return similarly features windows, alongside a single-storey, lean-to entrance wing. This wing has a banded pier to the right, a substantial cornice and blocking course above a 20th-century door leading to number 28, and a small, eight-pane, semicircular-arched fixed window. The interior has not been inspected.
A rendered rubble stone wall, approximately two metres high, is attached to the rear left corner. It extends to the left for about two metres before turning towards the rear for approximately twelve metres. This wall rises to approximately four metres over a carriage entrance, now featuring a 20th-century lintel and gates. The group value context is that the pair of houses are a significant example of 19th-century domestic architecture.
