Description
Tightly packed two storey buildings with varying ridge heights and building materials. Most have lost their original character by having frontages painted or rendered and original slate roofs replaced by fake slates or concrete tiles. First floor windows are casement replacements (some in uPVC some in timber). Several flat-roofed extensions have been added.
