Exterior Description And Setting

A group of two-storey houses in a modern style with monopitch concrete roofs, comprising two pairs of semi-detached houses of rustic brick and one detached house to the left which has a later rendered finish and its windows replaced in small-paned hardwood, not to the original pattern. None of the other houses is in original state due to replacement windows or later extensions to the front. The group stands in a rural location set back slightly from the road with lawns in front and easily viewed from the road.
