Terrace of 4 houses (now 3), formerly the apprentice house for Benyon and Bage's flax mill. c1800 with later modifications. John Simpson, architect and builder. Brick with Welsh slate roof. 3 storeys, wide 4-window range. Paired doors beneath single pedimented hoods (one door now a window in right-hand pair). 4-pane sash windows with cambered brick heads (blind window spaces on ground and second storeys in left-hand unit). Painted plaque in centre of elevation reads "Ann Hill". Hipped roof to left, and 3-window-range return elevation, with wide 6-pane sashes, the central spaces blind. End wall and axial stacks.
