Pair of semi-detached council houses. c.1922. Designed by Arthur Wakerley. Pale red Sileby common brick with darker brick dressings. Bangor slate roofs with integral roof lights and 2 short brick ridge stacks. Brick cill band, lintel bands and quoins. 2 storey. EXTERIOR. Gabled street front has 4 ground floor windows, arranged 1:2:1, the central section projects slightly. 2 central tripartite sashes flanked by single sashes, and above 2 further sashes. All windows have glazing bars to upper sash and painted composite lintels. Low single storey returns under catslide roofs with single off-centre recessed doorways with inset roof lights. INTERIOR, not inspected.

This pair of workers houses is one of only 4 pairs, designed by Arthur Wakerley, which survive un-altered in Leicester and which are included on the list of historic buildings. The others are Nos 17 & 19, Dore Road; Nos 19 & 21, Great Arler Road and Nos 59 & 61, Dunster Street. Arthur Wakerley (1862-1931) designed the £299 house in 1922 as a response to the need for economic and well designed houses for workers after the Great War, the much discussed Homes for Heroes. He was an influential local politician, architect, developer, philanthropist and Chair of Leicester's first Housing and Town Planning Committee in the 1920's.
