Pair of cottages. c1860. Coursed squared gritstone, slate roof. Gothic Revival style. One and a half storeys, 3 bays, the central bay gabled. Long and short ashlar quoins. Facade to roadway has cross-frame windows in rusticated surrounds to ground floor, paired single lights in gable. Arched entrances in left and right returns have probably original 4-panel doors, a small stone-roofed bay window, and 2-light window above. Elaborate eaves and roof details include deep carved wooden eaves brackets, fish-scale slates, crested ridge tiles and 2 large 4-flue corniced ridge stacks, some with tall crenellated chimney pots. INTERIOR: not inspected. One of a group of 4 semi-detached cottages built on a narrow strip field shown on the 1850 Ordnance Survey map; the 1872 Directory shows that they were occupied by Mrs Harriet Darfield, laundress, and Henry Gough, gardener; they were possibly built for servants working at the houses in Alma Road. (Porter's Directory of Leeds and Neighbourhood: 1872-).
