These are a matching pair of detached houses built in 1937. These double-fronted houses, of simple square plan-form, have symmetrical brick elevations under low hipped slate roofs. Their formality is enhanced by tall chimney stacks at each side and by their distinctive central doorways, having sweeping profile lead hoods supported by scroll brackets. The symmetrical pair forms a prominent feature when viewed from the triangular green. They are part of the Brog Street Conservation Area.
