Number 72 And Attached Railings

Number 72 is a town house, now used as offices, with attached area railings. It dates from the late 18th century and was restored in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick, featuring a painted ashlar basement and dressings, topped with a concrete tile roof that has two gable stacks. It has a second floor sill band and a modillion eaves cornice with a triglyph frieze. The structure is four storeys tall plus a basement, with a four-window range. The windows are glazing bar sashes.

The ground floor has a rusticated stucco arcade, an off-centre beaded panelled door with a cast-iron fanlight, and windows adorned with stucco scallops in the tympana. The exterior includes wrought-iron area railings and a balustrade leading to the steps, all set on a rendered plinth. The first floor features baluster panels and bands below the windows, while the second floor has similar windows on a sill band. The third floor has smaller windows, all of which have panelled wedge lintels with double keystones.

At the rear, there is a central round-arched half-glazed door with a fanlight, flanked on the left by a 16-pane sash window and on the right by a blank wall. There are also two segmental light wells with wrought-iron railings. Above these, each floor has two glazing bar sashes and a blank segment-headed window. To the right, there is a set-back single bay with a round-arched ground floor window.
