Description
Two terraces of Sunderland cottages. Only example of this type of housing in Newcastle. Single storey, brick built with a slate roof with decorative ridge tiles. Some of the cottages are painted. They have polygonal bay windows. They have not been extended upwards through the addition of box dormers which would detract from their simplicity. A few properties have uPVC glazing. Short front gardens are bounded by low brick walls.
