Description
A row of five terrace houses dated 1884-8, designed by Stockdale Harrison in the Queen Anne Revival style. The buildings are constructed of red brick with ashlar and terracotta dressings, and have plain tile roofs with decorative ridge tiles and tall brick stacks.
Number 146 is a two-storey house with an attic, featuring a lean-to porch to the left with arched openings supported by wooden columns and a balustrade. Above, there's a single cross casement, and above that, a three-light cross casement dormer with wooden brackets. A projecting gabled wing to the right has a two-storey, three-light canted bay window with cross casements and a hipped roof. Above this bay is a large five-light cross casement dormer window with corner balustrades and ornate bargeboards.
Numbers 148 and 150 are a pair of similar houses, each with a lean-to porch with arched openings and wooden columns. Above the porch are a single sash window and a two-light cross casement dormer (the dormer for number 148 has ornate bargeboards, while the dormer for number 150 has a hipped roof). A projecting gabled wing to the right of each house has a two-storey, three-light canted bay window with cross casements and flat roofs, with tile hanging in between. The upper floors are also tile hung, featuring a five-light Venetian-style window each.
Number 152 is a larger house with three bays. It has a central, segment arched doorway with an ashlar keystone, a glazed door with a fanlight and side lights, and a single glazing bar sash above. Either side are two-storey, three-light cross casement canted bay windows with tile hanging between. The upper floor is half-timbered with a pair of two-light casements and to the left, a projecting gable with a five-light Venetian-style window and tile hanging above. To the right is a canted open balcony with a wooden balustrade and columns supporting a hipped roof, topped by a three-light glazing bar window.
Number 154 is a larger, four-bay house. The off-centre doorway has glazed double doors with a double overlight within a moulded ashlar surround and ornate carved hood. To the right is a single light window, above which are two single light windows, and above again a four-light, hipped dormer with casements supported on carved wooden brackets. To the left is a slightly projecting wing with a three-light canted bay window with cross casements, above a double glazing bar sash flanked by single, narrower, similar sashes. Above, a projecting half-timbered gable is supported on ornate wooden brackets with a three-light casement. To the right is a three-storey circular corner turret bay window, containing four casements on the lower floors and eight casements on the top floor.
