These are two terraces, one of four houses (W block) and one of six houses (E block). Each terrace comprises two single-storeyed blocks of polychrome-brick (red with white margins), with tiled gabled roofs (replacement tiles), and matching polychrome chimney stacks with a variety of cans. The first house in the block at the E end has been painted red at some point in its history, creating an apparent discontinuity in the brickwork. The terrace was under possible threat by expansion of the Craig Park retail complex on the date of visit.
