Addison Terrace

Addison Terrace is a row of 12 houses built around 1848, and later altered. The houses are constructed with stucco over brick, with slate roofs featuring red ridge tiles. They are double-depth and single-fronted, arranged in halls-adjoining pairs, and have coupled rear extensions. The architectural style is Gothick.

The terrace is two storeys high with attics, exhibiting a 24-window facade. Twelve barge-boarded gables are present, although most of the finials are missing. Each house has coupled Tudor-arched doorways with chamfered surrounds, recessed doors with traceried panels, narrow side-lights, and rectangular two-light bay windows at ground floor level. The houses at Nos. 88/90 and 100/102 feature an arcade of three small lancet windows above the doorways, comprised of a central niche with a statue on a corbel, flanked by windows connected by a shared hoodmould. Tall two-light sashed windows are found in the outer bays, all of which are covered by a continuous hoodmould. A central gable, housing a two-centred arched window of two lights with Y-tracery, is situated above the attics, flanked by low windows of three square lights below the eaves. Number 102 has a plaque above the door indicating that Charles Halle and Ford Madox Brown formerly resided there. The other pairs of houses have slightly projecting gabled outer bays, two-light windows with hoodmoulds on the first floor, and small lancets in the gables with Y-tracery and hoodmoulds. The rear of the terrace and the interior have not been inspected. Damage to the stucco at ground floor level was observed at Nos. 100 to 106 at the time of survey.
