Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge crestings, red brick end chimneystacks with decorative cornices, cast-iron rainwater goods, and painted eaves course. Painted lined-and-ruled rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and granite sills.

Wrought-iron pedestrian gate, cast-iron piers, wrought-iron railings on rendered plinth with cut granite copings.

Appraisal

An interesting group of semi-detached houses, not just for this pair, but for the two other near-identical pairs on the street and forming part of a collection of other Edwardian houses in the vicinity. The use of decorative elements such as ridge crestings, eaves course and quoins, chimneystack cornices and door surround emphasise the formal properties of the structure. The decorative rainwater goods and the gates and railings indicate the skilled design and craftsmanship of cast-iron in the early twentieth century. Gate post bears inscription "R.Sheane Wicklow".
