What is recorded here
Semi-detached two-storey two-bay house with projecting entrance bay and octagonal corner bay connected by balustraded balcony, built c.1930, as pair with building to south. Single-storey extension to north. Hipped artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Decorative crenellated parapet to projecting bays. Roughcast rendered walls with plat bands and plinth. Square-headed two-over-two timber sliding sash windows with concrete sills and continuous sill courses to corner bay. Glazed timber door with overlight and concrete steps. Glazed timber door to balcony. Concrete balustrade and wrought-iron gate to site boundary.
This house forms an interesting pair with its neighbour to the south, forming a mirror image. The unusual massing of forms and the decorative crenellations give this pair of houses a castle-like appearance, which provides visual interest to this twentieth-century streetscape. It retains original features such as its timber sash windows.
