8-32 Egerton Street, including cast-iron railings

This is a terrace of houses dating from the early 1840s. Constructed mainly of exposed brick with painted sandstone dressings, slate and later modern roof coverings, number 8 has a rendered front elevation. The terrace runs roughly east-west and is adjoined at its western end by the separately listed Peter Kavanagh's public house.

The terrace comprises two storeys plus a basement, with a slight increase in height between numbers 18 and 20. The roof has a shallow pitch with short brick chimney stacks, although many of those on the rear roof slope have been removed. Each house is two bays wide, raised slightly above ground level with a plinth, first-floor sill band, and a plain frieze to the top of the elevation, topped with a cornice and blocking course. The entrance doorways are set to the ground floor left and are accessed by steps. They feature classical doorcases with pilasters, a plain entablature above, and an overlight above the doors. Most houses have 20th-century 12-panel doors, while numbers 10, 28 and 32 retain six-panel doors, and number 20 has a four-panel door. Windows to the ground floor right have wedge lintels, and first-floor windows use the plain frieze as a lintel band. A blind window is positioned above each entrance doorway on the first floor. Numbers 8, 10, 20 and 32 have original six-over-six sash windows, although the remaining houses have replacement timber casements designed to resemble sashes. Each house has a partly visible basement window. Cast-iron railings set upon a sandstone plinth run along the front of the terrace and separate the individual houses. The rear elevations mostly have casement windows, although some original sash windows remain. Many of the houses have rendered rear elevations, some with pebble dashing, and have lost their original outshuts. The interiors of the houses were not inspected.
