INTERIORS: shutters in situ and fixed in No 34; cast-iron banister; good plaster work; classical wooden chimneypiece in front room at ground floor, with urn motif and fluted panels. Original cast-iron banister in No 36; plaster work as in No 34.

BOUNDARY WALL: sandstone (originally droved ashlar, now badly weathered) and coped wall to front, formerly with railings. Tall rubble garden walls to rear.

Statement of Interest

The pavilion to No 34 was presumably similar to that of No 36, but had already been altered by 1856.
