What is recorded here

Read the whole record

Semi-detached three-bay single-storey former estate worker's house, built c.1845. The façade is finished in unpainted roughcast, whilst the pitched gable-ended overhanging roof is slated and has a rendered chimneystack with pronounced base course. The entrance is located within a gable-ended porch and consists of a timber door. The flat-headed windows have replacement metal and timber frames. Metal rainwater goods. To front there is a small garden enclosed by a low rendered wall.

This house, along with its largely matching and probably contemporary neighbours to the north and south, forms part of an attractive mid 19th-century grouping which, despite alterations, remains a valuable asset to the Newcastle streetscape.
