Lobby-entry plan with living room and scullery to rear. 2 storeys, 14 bays with entrance bays breaking forward slightly.

Sprocketed eaves, hipped roof. Stacks removed. Entrances to Nos 14 and 18 at side. The particular significance of New Earswick lies in its contribution to the development of low cost housing in Britain. Experience gained and practices introduced here were incorporated extensively into the Tudor Walters Report of 1918 which was instrumental in the passing of the Addison Act of 1919. Plans from New Earswick influenced the Government Manual on low cost housing which followed the Act.
