A symmetrical group of houses flanking the Cullen House (NJ56NW0003) approaches.

A symmetrical group of houses flanking the Cullen House (NJ56NW0003) approaches. The houses were built in 1820-25, and are a pair of single-storey and attic cottages, which together have a five-bay South-East frontage to Grant Street, and Number 4 has three bays facing North-East to North Deskford Street with a gable end at the North-West. It is constructed from harled rubble, with painted tooled rubble margins. There are entrances in bays two and four, with panelled doors under fanlights with decorative glazing. There are three windows to North Deskford Street, of which the Eastern-most is blind. There is a later 19th century gabled dormer at the rear, and a substantial canted dormer to North Deskford Street. There is 12-pane glazing in the ground floor windows, and the dormers use 4-pane glazing. It has coped ridge and end stacks and piended Welsh slate roofs. Number 2 is very similar in style, but with three bays to the South-East frontage to the two bays at Number 4. It also has substantial canted dormers to the rear and South-West end. The houses are also similar to Numbers 1 and 3 opposite, and are almost mirror images of one another. Grant Street linked to Cullen House entrance by length of harled wall surmounted by cast-iron spearhead bratticing and with entrance to the rear court. The approach to Cullen House is flanked by octagonal gatepiers and cast-iron railings.
