Mainly terraced housing in Hillsborough which was constructed in the later part of the 19th century and early part of the 20th century. It also contained some earlier courtyard housing and some villas. An early 18th century farmhouse survives amongst the terraces. The housing was built on the outskirts of Owlerton contributing to the newly expanding settlement of Hillsborough. Formerly the land was mainly agricultural, probably being enclosed in a piecemeal fashion. Legibility of the former landscape is fragmentary as an earlier farmhouse remains.
