Terraced two-bay two-storey house, built 1935. One of a terrace of four forming part of a group of fourteen. Pitched (shared) roof with profiled clay tile, clay ridge tiles, rendered (shared) chimney stack, rendered coping to party wall, and iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves having iron ties. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings in tripartite arrangement with concrete sills, six-over-six (ground floor) and three-over-six (first floor) timber sash windows having two-over-two or one-over-two sidelights. Square-headed door opening approached by three tiled concrete steps with glazed timber panelled door having shared concrete canopy over. Set back from street in own grounds with random rubble stone boundary wall having rendered coping, and iron gate [VO].
An amiable small-scale house built as one of a group of fourteen identical units (remainder in group not included in survey) representing an element of the interwar development of modest-scale residential schemes possibly by the local authority: simple attributes, including the elegant Wyatt-influenced tripartite openings, produce an unassuming architectural design aesthetic suggestive of the economic limitations put in place during the construction of such schemes by local authorities. Having been well maintained, the house represents the last in the group to present an early aspect with most of the original fabric surviving in place, thereby upholding some of the character or integrity of the collective ensemble in the streetscape.
