Description
A pair of houses located on the north side of High Street, Corby, dating from the early 19th century. The buildings are constructed of regular coursed limestone and have roofs of Collyweston slate. Originally designed as a two-unit terrace, they now present a four-window facade with 20th-century casement windows set within shallow stone arches. Modern doors are positioned at the far left and right, one featuring a rustic porch. The roof is hipped, with a central stone stack, and a single-storey extension projects from the rear. The interior has not been inspected. The buildings are included on the list for their group value.
