Description

Pair of C19 semi detached villas. Red brick with fine mortar joints. Stone window surrounds and early cast stone/cement detailing. Slate roof with decorative diamond chimney stacks half way up roof slope at gable ends and in centre of property. 4 large 2 over 2 pane sash windows at first floor level above bay windows and a pair of central doors at ground floor level. Bay windows are 2 over 2 pane sashes in the centre, with single pane sashes on the returns.
Brick boundary wall is of some visual interest, although the bricks appear darker that those on the
main house indicating that the wall may be a later addition. Buildings to rear of main houses are garages with offices/annexes over. These buildings are visually attractive, and appear to be of an age with the main houses.
This pair of houses occupies a visually prominent plot at the edge of the village. The buildings are the first historic building that is seen on the approach into Great Horwood from the east and signals the edge of the historic core of the village on the northern side of the Little Horwood Road. The buildings are of both historic and architectural interest. A local note building within the Conservation Area of Great Horwood (B1).
