66, Leam Terrace

This is a villa, built around 1834 to 1838, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of pinkish-brown brick with a painted stucco front facade and a Welsh slate roof.

The villa is two storeys high, with three first-floor windows and a recessed two-storey, one first-floor-window bay to the right. The first floor is topped by a band surmounted by four Tuscan pilasters, placed at the ends and between the windows. It has six-over-six sash windows with plain reveals, moulded surrounds. A double frieze, cornice, and blocking course complete the upper level. The ground floor features a plinth and horizontal rustication.

The main range has a central entrance accessed by three roll-edged steps leading to a part-glazed, four-panel door. This door is set between pilaster strips and margin-lights with glazing-bars, incorporating a fanlight with glazing-bars, all within a plain reveal and round-arched surround. A distyle Tuscan porch features engaged pilasters and an entablature with a blocking course. To the left of the entrance is a tripartite window consisting of two two-over-two sashes. To the right is a canted bay with three one-over-one sashes, a frieze, cornice, and blocking course. To the right of the main façade, a recessed bay on the first floor contains a tall, narrow two-over-two sash with a pointed upper light and margin-lights, under a cambered arch of rubbed brick. The ground floor of this recess has a pointed-arched door with long panels and plain spandrels. Tall end stacks with cornices are present on the main range.

The interior has not been inspected.

Leam Terrace was laid out around 1828 to 1836, and nearly all properties on both sides, as far as Willes Road, were constructed by 1841. This villa forms an architectural group with numbers 54 to 66 (even) Leam Terrace and number 2 Farley Street.
