That's a common way of numbering houses in England. In many parts of the USA and Canada numbering is different, it's done by blocks. I had cousins living in Vancouver at a four-figure address, but their street only contained 24 houses.

Why do houses have numbers on the outside of the house?

In order to deliver mail, carriers needed a way to identify houses from the outside. A simple number system was developed using even numbers on the left side of the street/road and odd numbers on the right side of the street/road.

Why are house numbers 4 numbers apart?

Numbers on each side of the road are separated by a gap of 2, not 4, as one side has even numbers while the other has odd. If another house is built between two numbers, it simply receives a suffixed number such as '24A' or '1839B'.
