Amid the mostly Victorian and Edwardian streets of West Norwood, these two houses stand out somewhat. They were designed by Ernest George and Harold Peto in 1882-83. The tile-hung upper storey, prominent chimneys and white-painted sash windows are common motifs of Arts and Crafts architecture. Grade II listed. George lived in Streatham for some years and designed several buildings in the area.
