A row of low two-storey stone cottages with simple frontages and later windows, brick porches and chimneys. No. 32 has been refaced in brick. Its later bow windows are not historically accurate. Small fragments of original lime render survive on parts of this terrace. The rears are in good condition, the large brick buildings on the back lane are 19th century estate buildings. Cast iron corner 'bumpers' or 'glinters' survive. LOCAL LIST
