Single-storey porches with hipped roofs and fixed glazing atop roughcast rendered plinth walls, square-headed door openings with replacement doors.

Appraisal
These houses contain very fine red brick detailing and display some elements of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the reference to Tudor elements, seen in the canopied tripartite windows at first floor level, and the large hopper heads to the front elevation. The survival of the single-storey building to the front of one house is also of interest as an outbuilding from this period. The pair, along with the pairs to the east and west, were apparently built by a builder called Murphy.
