Description
Nos. 27 and 29 Higher Bullen are a pair of semi-detached houses built in 1925 by Petter Warren. They feature rendered concrete slab cavity walls and a steel roof construction with a segmental section, clad in corrugated-iron sheets. The houses have red brick axial stacks and are designed as non-parlour houses.
The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical four-window north front that has a wide segmental arch gable end. There are later 20th-century two-light casements and glazed doors on the left and right, each with canopies above.
These houses were constructed for the local council as low-cost housing, drawing design principles from Lieutenant Colonel Nissen of the Royal Engineers, who was involved in the construction of Nissen huts during the First World War. Similar houses can be found in Higher Bullen, Barwick, Yeovil, and West Camel in South Somerset District, as well as in Bampton, Mid Devon District.
