Description:
Imposing two storey buff brick houses in semi-detached form. Large projecting gables face the street enlivened with darker brick string courses, copious timber and sandstone detailing. All but one of the front elevations have been painted, bays altered, bargeboards missing and a mix of hedges, walls and fencing. No. 3 is the only house to retain its polychromatic brickwork and original windows. Nos. 2 to 6 are plainer than Nos. 1 to 15. These three houses are also altered and partly painted but some sash windows survive along with grand classical door cases and unusual outer doors. The bold extension to No. 6 is enhanced with cedar cladding.
