Description
Pair of semi-detached three-bay one and a half-storey houses, built c.1890. The houses are constructed with granite rubble with block and start brick dressings. The panelled front doors are set within flat-headed openings. Window openings are flat-headed with two over two timber sash frames to the easternmost house and replacement frames to that to the west. The first floor windows are set within gabled half dormers. The pitched roof is finished with natural slate with decorative clay ridge tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods; the eaves are overhanging and bargeboards are plain. The houses are slightly set back behind low stone walls with wrought-iron pedestrian gates.
Appraisal
This pair of matching houses is in good condition and apart from the loss of window frames to the westernmost house, they are in original condition. They are sited at the westernmost side of the town and add to the general 19th-century feel of the area.
