Square-headed window openings with stone sills, shouldered window openings with roll moulding detail to first floor and paired round-headed openings to half-dormers with shared render sills. One-over-one timber sash windows with replacement uPVC windows to west house. Round-headed openings to recessed porches with encaustic tiled floors and timber panelled doors having raised bottom panels and glazed upper panels with sidelights and large double pane overlights. Set back from street with gardens to front site bounded by cast-iron railings on rendered plinth walls.
Appraisal
A well maintained pair of houses which retain many original architectural and decorative exterior features. The simple composition of the houses is enlivened by moulded render detailing and decorative bargeboards, while the fine cast-iron railings are very typical of the design favoured during this period. The encaustic floor tiles add further interest to the pair.
