Description
Nos. 7 and 8 The Watton is a three-storey building with a five-bay street facade made of painted brick. It features stuccoed end pilasters, a band on the first floor, a plinth, and rusticated architraves with keystones around the window openings. The doorways are also stuccoed and have bracketed cornices. The roof is slate with projecting eaves, and there is a brick stack on the left side only. Each house is two bays wide, with doorways located in the inner bays. The doors are six-panelled and have rectangular fanlights with tracery. In the centre bay, the only opening on the ground floor is a carriageway with a 3-centred arch and boarded double doors. No. 7 has modern small-pane glazing that imitates the style of No. 8.
