Two houses. Early C19. Flemish-bond brick with pantile roof, stone coping and brick stacks to gable ends. Double-depth plan. 2 storeys; 5-window range. No.45 to the left has a gauged brick semicircular arch to a full-height recess; set in centre at first-floor level is a fixed window with a smaller but similar arch, thin glazing bars and small panes. Another similar arch below spans the whole recess, a probable former carriage entrance, now bricked up with 6/6-pane sash window to the top which uses a segment of the arch. To right is another gauged brick semicircular arch over a C20 door and large fanlight with mostly square panes; above is a flat arch to a 6/6-pane sash. The 3 first-floor windows to right were similar, the central one is bricked up with a small C20 window inserted; the cill of the window to right has been lowered and forms a tall 9/9-pane sash stair window to No.47; the window to far right is a horned 6/6-pane sash with a blind window below. A plate-glass shop window to centre of the ground floor has 2 square panes at the base and 2 horizontal ones to the top below painted-over full-width overlight with glazing bar that reflects those above door; a simple fascia with a moulded cornice spans the top. The right return has a C20 pedimented doorcase and door to left. INTERIOR not inspected.
