The group of streets in the centre of the Common, known as the "Toast-rack" is characterised by groups of semi-detached properties on a grid of streets. The buildings are substantial, of two and three storeys, and constructed mainly of red brick. In Baskerville Road buildings are generally two storeys with a gabled roof with an attic storey. Two storey canted bays predominate. They are of red brick with rendered surrounds to windows. Some properties have decorative eaves cornice and semi-circular bargeboard to gable. A few have attractive projecting cast iron canopies to porches with curved zinc roof covering.
