172 and 174 Goldcroft Road

172 and 174 Goldcroft Road are a pair of semi-detached houses built in 1925. They feature double 75mm concrete slab walls with a 75mm cavity and a steel roof with an arched frame, covered with bitumenised asbestos cement. The roofs are semi-circular, extending down to a bell-mouth on the sides below the first floor level. Each house has plain doors positioned towards the outer sides, with a small window next to each door, and four-light casement windows in the center, along with similar windows above. The rear elevation is similar, with kitchen and bathroom windows located on the sides beneath the roof.

The interiors have not been seen. These houses were designed as a pair of semi-industrialised experimental cost-cutting homes by local architects Petter and Warren, inspired by the principles of Lieutenant Colonel P.N. Nissen, D.S.O., R.E., who was involved in the construction of Nissen Huts during the First World War. They were estimated to cost £350 each, which was about £100 less than conventional 'non-parlour' houses of the time, but ultimately cost £513 11s 7d each, leading Yeovil Town Council to build no more.
