Description
1 Red Houses is a row of two-storey, single-fronted houses built in a modest vernacular style. They are constructed of red brick with red tile roofs and feature projecting eaves. The brick ridge stacks are set back from the ends and positioned towards the centre. The end houses, Nos 1 and 5, are wider and have advanced gabled end bays. Each house has boarded doors with strap hinges, located under overlights and segmental heads on the outer sides, along with segmental-headed four-light windows on the inner sides and a similar centrally-placed window in the upper storey. The windows consist of small panes above wooden transoms and large panes below. The attic tablets on the right side of No 1 are dated '1911', while No 5 has an inscription of 'PTDC' on the left side. The three narrower central houses, Nos 2-4, share similar details, but their upper-storey windows are located beneath gablets.
On the right side wall of No 1, there are segmental-headed sash windows in the lower storey, featuring small panes in the upper sash and large panes below, along with two-light casements in the upper storey. The left side wall of No 5 has a similar arrangement.
