Row of 4 dwellings, partly early C18 or before, refaced and partly rebuilt by John Douglas for Rowland Egerton Warburton probably just before 1875.

No.54 (right) comprises cross-gable flush with wing of 1 room to left; the roof steps down to Nos. 55 and 56, each of 1 room and with gabled half-dormer; No. 55 has combined projecting porch and parlour bay-window; No. 57 comprises a large projecting cross gable and a smaller gable, left, flush with the main frontage. 12-panel doors, those to Nos. 54 and 55 part-glazed; brick-mullioned windows of 5, 4, 3 and 2 lights with very small leaded panes; moulded bands and brown brick diapering; plaster lozenge panels on gables and dormers; shaped brick lateral and ridge chimneys. Relieving arches over windows; gauged brick arches to doors. Interiors of No. 55 and 56 could not be inspected; No. 57, with old brickwork (unbroken vertical joint) at back is of interest: parlour door of 6 fielded panels has heavy carved architrave of early Georgian type; cambered arch between hall and stair; broad-board cellar door; bedroom doors of 6 fielded panels; HL hinges; broad-board attic doors; purlins of oak. No features of special interst in No. 54. Externally, the design is confident and advanced, illustrated and admired by T Raffles Davison in The British Architect 12 December 1884. The block plan is as shown on OS 1/2500 1 Edition Surveyed 1875.
