18 & 20 ACREFIELD ROAD - built between 1829 & 1835 - Listed Grade II.

Architectural description

A pair of wholly brick built houses of 2 storeys and cellars, under a pyramidal slate roof. Set on a rather more generous plot than its neighbours and placed square with Acrefield Rd., they have just enough space on either side to accommodate, now, a garage. The design is extremely simple, the front doors with round heads are in the sides, leaving two sash windows at the front to light the bedroom and parlour; the eaves have cast iron gutters.
