Description
This is a terrace of three houses, built around 1850. The buildings are constructed of brick with a Welsh slate roof. They are three storeys and an attic, raised above a basement, and have a six-window facade. The design features round-arched doorways, positioned alternately with canted bay windows; the doorways to numbers 61 and 62 are paired. The ground floor windows are six-pane sashes, set within moulded stone architraves and with a sill band. Above these are four-pane sashes, also with moulded stone architraves. A plain parapet sits beneath the eaves, with stone copings, and there are three small Dutch gables, each with a blind slit window. Cast-iron railings and stone angle piers define the basement area and steps.
