Pair of small town houses. c.1840, altered. Red brick in
Flemish bond, (No 46 rebuilt) with sandstone dressings and
slate roof. Double-depth plan, each house single-fronted, with
coupled back extensions and a through-lobby in the centre. Two
storeys over cellars, 3 bays, symmetrical; with 1st-floor
sill-band, plain frieze and moulded gutter cornice. The
doorways, forming a triplet in the centre with the lobby door
between, both up 2 steps with nosings, have round-headed
architraves with set-in Tuscan quarter columns, plain lintels,
and semicircular fanlights with convex moulded surrounds, that
at No.47 with original radiating metal tracery; a 6-panel door
to No.46 (door to No.47 now hardboarded). Each house has one
window at ground floor, but No.46 has 2 at 1st floor (the 2nd
over the lobby in the centre) and No.47 has only one, all with
raised sills and wedge lintels, and those at No.47 4-pane
sashes (those at No.46 all with altered glazing); cellar
windows with wedge lintels, that at No.46 unglazed and that at
No.47 protected by a grating. Gable chimneys. Rear and
INTERIOR not inspected. The item is part of a formerly
complete set of late Georgian lower-middle class town houses
in this street.
