What is recorded here

Pair of matching semi-detached two-bay two-storey former houses, built c.1880, now in use as a crèche. Each house is finished in lined render, moulded quoins and rusticated ground floor. The panelled door is framed with panelled pilasters with console brackets which support a projecting cornice; above is a plain fanlight and all is set within a semi-circular headed opening; this in turn is framed by larger panelled pilasters which also support a projecting cornice with decorated tympanum; the door arrangement is paired with its neighbour. To one side is a two-storey canted bay with a hipped roof. The window openings are all flat-headed and frames all are one over one timber sash. The hipped roof is finished with slate and cast-iron rainwater goods; the eaves overhang slightly and rendered chimneystacks have corbelled caps with mixed clay pots. The house is well set back behind a low rubble granite wall with prominent square brick gate pillars and carved stone caps; decorative gates are fabricated in wrought-iron.
