GV II

Pair of houses. Early to mid C19. Pebbledash with slate roof. 3 storeys above a cellar and 2 window bays. The windows have plain reveals and projecting sills. Those on the ground and 1st floors have segmental heads. The 2nd-floor windows, immediately under the eaves, are less tall. No.37, at the right, has sashed windows which have no glazing bars in their lower panes. The other windows are casements. Below the ground-floor windows are cellar openings. The paired central doorways share a timber doorcase with 2 fluted Greek Doric engaged columns (a central column is now missing) on rough stone bases, with a plain frieze and timber cornice. Immediately in front of the doorways is a pebble forecourt, with an inscription in front of the left-hand doorway, 'J.R. 1825', which could be the date of the houses. The right-hand half of the forecourt has been restored and bears the date '1987'. The gable chimneys have caps of rock-faced limestone.
