Terrace of 5 houses now in use as offices, all that remains of a longer row. 1835. Yellow brick with stone dressings and Welsh slate roofs. 2-storeyed raised on a basement, each unit of 2 bays: a narrow bay with doorway in recessed porch and a wider gabled bay with full-height canted bay windows. Each unit is a mirror image of its neighbour, with paired entrances in a single arched recess. Stuccoed 2-centred arch to porches, Gothic traceried panels to inner doors, and mullioned and transomed windows over (some renewed), and stone mullioned and transomed lights to bay windows. Coped gables and parapet eaves. Axial stacks (renewed). Entrances approached up steps with cast-iron railings which return along the frontages. The houses were part of a controlled devlopment by the church aimed at attracting the wealthy to live in Stoke.
