A mature authentic group. Imposing two storey buff brick houses in semi-detached and terraced form. Brickwork is attractively weathered.

No. 7 has an intrusive large flat-roofed dormer. No. 1 Station Road (South View) has inaccurate replica windows but a well designed garage extension. Nos. 3 and 4 are later, in red brick and are of a different Edwardian baroque style. They have a low pitched hipped slate roof and original elegant multi-paned sash windows. No. 4 has a large rear extension. There are long gardens to the rear running to a back lane. The west end of Ashleigh Villas is the junction of Station Road, Front Street and Sunderland Road. This is known locally as Black's Corner, named after a former baker's shop.
