Description
Simple limestone farmhouse and cottages enhanced by green banked gardens and porches. The rear of the house has four large Velux-style rooflights which detract from its character. The low limestone building to the east has been converted to garages for The Orchard on South Lane. The concrete tiles let this conversion down. The plot of No. 43 still stretches back to South Lane.
