All of the houses in Rock Park were Listed Grade II on 13th March 1973; the entrance gate posts and sea wall were listed on 10th August 1992. The description of numbers 20/21 from the listing is as follows: Pair of houses. c1836. Stucco rusticated to ground floor with Welsh slate roof. Neo-classical style, 2 storeys, symmetrically-designed, each house a 2-window range double-pile plan with side entrance. Slightly advanced outer bays with canted bay window to ground floor and 12-pane sash above in moulded architrave. Central bays have tripartite sash windows to ground floor, and 12-pane sash window above in moulded architrave with panelled apron and double string course. Angle quoins, eaves cornice. Return elevations have central round arched doorway with entablature carried on paired console brackets.
All windows in No.21 have been lowered, and mouldings and rustication removed; it is included for group value.
No.20 has square gate piers with stepped pyramidal cap and cast iron gates with acanthus motif.
The houses form part of the original development of Rock Park, laid out in 1836 by Jonathan Bennison.
