Description
This is a complex of two houses and a former coach house and stables, originally part of Winslow Hall, dating from the 18th century and subsequently altered. The buildings are constructed of brick, with areas of patching, and feature a moulded wooden eaves cornice and an old tile roof, hipped to the road.
The eastern front is irregular. The left side has 20th-century metal casement windows: three to the ground floor and two in hipped dormers. Access to one of the houses, "The Close," is at the rear. To the left of centre are garage doors, above which is a smaller hipped dormer. "The Coach House," situated to the right, has three wooden windows with barred casements, and three hipped dormers, two with paired barred casements; the centre one has a half-glazed door, originally the entry to the hayloft. The original arched carriageway entrance now has a 20th-century panelled door with flanking lights and a large radiating fanlight above. A later brick block attached to the northeast corner has two leaded windows with segmental heads facing south, and three hipped semi-dormers facing east. A gable facing the street has an elaborate cast iron bracket.
