Description
This is a pair of attached houses dating from the early 19th century. They are built of buff-coloured brick in a Flemish bond pattern. The roof is covered with concrete tiles, hidden behind a tall parapet featuring recessed panels. Brick axial and gable-end stacks are present.
The houses are two storeys high and have a two-bay south-east facing front. The front features a tall panelled parapet, window openings with flat brick arches containing late 20th-century replacement windows, and round arched doorways topped with semi-circular fanlights, now fitted with late 20th-century panelled doors.
The interior of the houses has not been inspected.
