Reasons for Designation

* Architectural interest: they are a good example of a pair of mid-C19 semi-detached villas displaying good quality architectural detailing; * Intactness: despite some alterations they have survived mostly intact; * Group value: they were built as part of an interesting, small suburban planned development of three near identical semi-detached villas.

One of three near identical pairs of villas (Nos 23 and 25 (qv), Nos 27 and 29 (qv)) built in the mid C19.
