    75 Metres.

    Second house is 35m from the First;
    Third house is  25m from the Second;
    Fourth is 15m from the Third.

    Thus,
    Third house is 35 + 25 = 60m from the First;
    Fourth is 25 + 15 = 40m from the Second and
    Third at 15m from Fourth is 10m nearer than to the Second which is at 25m.
