What is recorded here

Semi-detached two-bay two-storey house built c.1875. The house is finished with lined render with quoins and fine moulded surrounds to openings. The panelled front door is framed with unusual paired pilasters and paired console style brackets which support a projecting cornice; above is a plain fanlight and all is set within a semi-circular headed opening. Window openings are all flat-headed with six over six timber sash frames. A high parapet all but obscures the pitched, double-piled, roof which is covered with slate. The chimneystack is rendered and has a plain chamfered top and clay pots. The house sits in a short cul-de-sac behind tall hedges.
One of a pair of understated but well proportioned mid 19th-century houses which are in very original condition and which add greatly to the quality of the area. The slightly concealed location adds to the surprise when the houses are encountered.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
