Description
This is a terrace of four houses, built around 1820. The houses are faced with ashlar stone and have a roof of Welsh slate. The central section has six windows, two storeys and an attic, while the flanking sections are two storeys high with four windows each. The design is symmetrical, with doorways set slightly off-centre in the flanking blocks, and doorways in the outer section of the central range. The doorways have six-panelled doors with traceried overlights, set within simple moulded surrounds. The windows are mostly twelve-pane sashes, with longer fifteen-pane sashes in the first-floor windows of the outer flanking blocks. The window and door surrounds have flat-arched heads carved into the ashlar, and rectangular stuccoed surrounds on some upper windows. A single wooden blind canopy covers one upper window on the right-hand side. There is a moulded stone cornice and parapet, with the attic of the central section rising above this, featuring six-pane sash windows. Chimneys are located towards the rear of the buildings.
A garden wall runs along the front of the terrace, defining the plot and providing pathways to each house. The wall itself has an ashlar stone plinth and pierced balustrades, with small domed caps on the corner piers. Low stone walls and double-curved block links provide access to each property. Number 122 was separately listed on May 30, 1969.
