Victorian Tudor Gothic style.

Each house has a large dormer with overhanging braced gables on brackets, tile-hung and with 3-light casements with glazing bars.

INTERIOR: Staircases with turned column newels, stick balusters and moulded handrails. Simple chimneypieces with cast-iron arched fire grates.
HISTORY: the earliest documents known at present comprise an indenture of 1871 relating to the sale of these six cottages with attached forge from the Theobald family to William barrow Simonds (Hants CRO, ref 101/M91W/1). A good example of a High Victorian Tudor-Gothic style terrace of houses of flint and brick construction, with unusual paired doors, showing the increasing experimentation in design that was affecting smaller terraces of this type.
