Description
1 and 2 Bedford Villas are a pair of semi-detached villas built around 1830, possibly by the architect Foulston or influenced by his style. The buildings are two storeys high and finished in stucco, topped with a hipped slate roof. Each villa features four windows, with sash windows on the first floor that have pilaster detailing. The ground floor includes 3-light sash windows and niches. Square porches adorned with wreath ornamentation add to the entrance, and there are chimneystacks topped with acroteria.
