It was built around 1885 of sandstone featuring a mansard / flat roof arrangement. Each house in the terrace features a 1 . 5 storey ‘servant’ wing to the rear garden side of the building. These servant wings would originally have contained the servant accommodation, as well as utility areas for the house, adjacent to the kitchen space.
