Summary

Early 19th-century three-storey red brick former houses, now flats, with a pantile roof and 20th century rear additions. These were originally three houses, with the third - No 31 Sussex Street - originally occupying part of the space where No 33 now stands. It appears that it lost the floors above its ground floor door bay during a 20th-century rebuilding, prior to the eventual removal of the doorway itself. Listed Grade II.
