Numbers 45, 46 And 47 With Attached Steps And Railings

Numbers 45, 46 and 47 are three houses, now offices, with attached steps and railings, forming part of a terrace. They were built around 1840, with Number 47 possibly being a later addition. The houses are constructed of English garden wall bond brick with painted ashlar basements and dressings and have Welsh slate roofs with brick chimneys. Ashlar dwarf walls are present, along with cast and wrought-iron balustrades and railings.

The houses are two storeys high with a basement, each having three windows. Steps lead to double doors on the right side of each house. Numbers 45 and 46 have doors with ten fielded panels, while Number 47 has six. These doors fold back to reveal panelled reveals to inner doors. The door surrounds are made of painted stone, featuring pilasters and an entablature with a shallow dentil frieze. Window sashes have horizontal glazing bars, and those on the ground floor of two of the houses have panelled aprons. Sill strings are present on both floors of Number 47. The basements have channelled rustication. Number 47, which forms a corner with Athenaeum Street, had an adjacent house that was demolished and replaced with a 20th-century building. The step balustrades are made of cast iron with wrought iron handrails. The chamfered dwarf area walls have cast iron railings with ornamental heads, some of which have been replaced, and interspersed with entrances to renewed basement doors.
