G.V.
II
Row of six houses. c.1907. Brick, applied timber-framing and clay tile roof. A near-symmetrical plan with a total of thirteen bays and two storeys. Picturesque timber-framed revival.

Elevation dominated by four gabled projections, the outer ones projecting further than the others and having plain one- and two-light windows. The inner ones are jettied at first floor level and have decorative square panelling, four-light ovolo-moulded mullion and transom ground floor windows and three-light ovolo-moulded mullion first floor windows. Decorative bargeboards and finials. The intermediate bays which are brick on the ground floor have doors (mostly replacements) with tiled canopies and small two-light ground floor windows,
and on the first floor, three-light windows as above. All windows have leaded lights. Central gabled dormer window and prominent brick ridge chimney stacks. The right and left returns have recessed porches with Tudor-arched openings. The group is an interesting example of the garden suburb movement and came about as a result of early deindustrialisation.
