Stretcher bond wall that is not cavity wall?

[BUEIMUNF]

Looking into buying a house. The house is rendered but from what I can see of the brick work (around 6 courses) it is all stretchers. The house was built in the mid 1920s. I would assume that the construction is an early cavity wall however the vendor has advised it is solid brick wall. I have roughly measured the wall thickness which is around 30cm however there is at least one layer of render on the wall.

Is any one aware of a type of solid brick wall construction that uses stretcher bond?

The road is Wembley Road, Liverpool, L18 if anyone wants to take a look and advise if the think the wall is cavity or none cavity. Most houses on the street are of the same construction.

There are houses built in Stretcher bond that are solid, just as there are cavity walls built in Flemish bond.

Wembley Road would be cavity walls if they are all the same construction

The houses seem to have red brick at the bottom. If so, being Liverpool, they could well be Ruabon bricks, which were expensive. Even for solid walls, stretcher bond was quite common when expensive pressed bricks were being used because a header brick would, to the builders, be a waste of a good brick. There are thousands of late Victorian pressed brick houses in the NW which are done in stretcher bond, but are solid 9" wallls.
