Appraisal
This pair of houses is of social and historic interest representing an early residential development in the centre of the village. Although the house to right (north) has been considerably altered, leading to the loss of some of the original character, the house to left (south) retains most of its original form and reveals an irregularly-planned front (east) elevation. Each house retains some early or original features and materials of importance with the house to left (south) having timber sash fenestration and the house to right (north) retaining an original roof. Road fronted, the houses are an attractive feature on the streetscape, forming part of the graduated section of Main Street that opens out on to Market Square.
