Early C19 house, built as a pair with No 3, probably c. 1830. Part of the Orielton estate until the sale of 1857. They may be the two houses of lot 20 in the sale described as leased to Isaac Williamson 1831 and occupied in 1857 by Robert Lock, banker and solicitor and Miss Holcombe. Each had four bedrooms, two parlours, coal cellars and walled gardens. An old photograph shows the houses with plain stucco fronts.

Centre arched doorway in cement surround with vermiculated keystone. Two steps with slate treads. Traceried fanlight with radiating petal tracery, over six-panel door with reeded panels below and raised panels above with quadrant rebates to corners (as on No 3). Basement vents in plinth. Long rear wing with C20 brick ridge stack, imitation slates, first floor centre 12-pane sash with brick head. Lean-to in angle to main house.
