Description
This is a terrace of eight houses, now offices, dating from circa 1771, with No. 11 specifically dated 1787. Later 19th-century alterations have been made. The terrace was built for Thomas Broadbent. The construction is primarily brick with ashlar and brick dressings, topped with slate roofs. There are seven gable stacks and two ridge stacks.
The exterior features plinths and ramped, coped parapets, with coped gables. The central block is distinguished by a moulded cornice, while the other houses have brick dentilled eaves, the one at No. 11 being larger and more elaborate. The terrace is three storeys high, with an 18-window range arranged as 3:3:6:3:3. First-floor windows are 12-pane sashes, while second-floor windows are 9-pane sashes, with 12 panes to No. 1. All windows have brick flat arches.
The central block, with six windows, has an off-centre doorcase featuring an eared architrave and a semi-pediment. It contains a fielded six-panel door and overlight. To the right of this is a 12-pane sash. Further along, on either side, are doorcases with panelled pilasters, reeded friezes and cornices, and fielded five-panel doors. Beside these are single 12-pane sashes. The houses on either side have doorcases with eared architraves and cornices, and fielded six-panel doors, with two 12-pane sashes flanking the right side. The left-hand house features a bronze tablet commemorating a visit by John Wesley in 1779. The house to the left of the end house has similar features, and the end house itself has a central 12-pane sash flanked to the left by a doorcase with pilasters and a cornice, and a 20th-century fielded six-panel door. To the right of the doorcase is a half-glazed door and overlight, with a further 12-pane sash to its right.
