Pair of semi-detached houses, now nursing home. 1783 with later additions and alterations including conversions and extensions in the 1980s and 1990s. Red brick with stone dressings. Hipped slate roof partially hidden by parapet. Ridge and end stacks with oversailing detail and pots.
PLAN: each house single-depth and back to back, with common, main facade to south (London Road) originally designed to look like one large villa and with service wings to north; entrances to east and west facades and with central stairhalls.
PRINCIPAL (SOUTH) ELEVATION: almost symmetrical facade; bay to off-centre right breaks forward slightly. Three storeys and basement. Seven (3:2:2) first floor windows. Stone detailing includes sills, moulded cornice and coping to parapet. Windows to ground floor are 6/6; to first floor 6/9, and to second floor 3/3; all in plain reveals with sills and flat gauged brick arches; many of the windows have external blind-boxes. Further 3/3 sashes in individual brick areas to basement. Single-storey extension to left ground-floor has four 1/1 sashes.
EAST ELEVATION: three storey, three first floor windows. Stone cornice continues from principal elevation. Sill band to first floor windows which are 6/6; 3/3 to second-floor; all in plain reveals with sills and flat gauged brick arches. Left hand window apertures to both floors are blind. Access via late C20 conservatory to central entrance with paired three-panel doors, upper panels raised and fielded, bottom panels flush-beaded; pilaster doorcase with pulvinated frieze and cornice; overlight with curved lattice pattern glazing bars. Later bay to right with mullion and transom, multi-pane glazing. Two storey service range to right with 6/6 sashes.
WEST ELEVATION: much altered with single, two and three storey additions. 6/6 and 8/8 sashes.
INTERIOR: re-ordered internally by its conversion into one unit for use as a youth hostel, however retains original plasterwork and joinery including panelled shutters to windows, six-panel doors with tooled architraves and fleurons to corners, cornices, both main narrow openwell staircases between rear and front rooms with stick balusters, carved tread ends and wreathed handrails.
HISTORICAL NOTE: map evidence suggests the south facade was symmetrical in 1886 i.e.(2:2:2), a single window range had been added to the left (west) return by 1926. Known on 1884 O.S. map as South Hayes and Cornwall Lawn.
