17 and 19 with attached wall and railings Leam Terrace

Nos. 17 and 19 Leam Terrace are a semi-detached villa, now converted to flats, dating from approximately 1834-1838, with later alterations. The building is constructed of pinkish-brown brick with a painted stucco facade, a Welsh slate roof, cast-iron railings, and wooden verandahs. It is designed in a Neo-Tudor style.

The villa is two storeys with attics to the gable and basements, and has four first-floor windows, two to each house. The outer bays project with gabled fronts. The first floor has a band, and the windows vary: a two-over-two sash, a one-over-one sash, a three-pane casement with pointed-arched glazing bars and margin lights, and a six-pane casement with margin lights (some margin glazing bars have been removed). The window surrounds are chamfered. The attic windows in the projecting bays are six-pane casements with margin lights and a pointed-arched overlight within a pointed-arched, chamfered surround, with a hoodmould and face stops. Other attic windows are twelve-pane casements. A central blind arcade is positioned above a corbel table.

The ground floor features a pair of castellated porches with steps leading to pointed-arched openings with a roll-moulded surround. The entrances have part-glazed doors; that on the right has decorative Gothic tracery to the upper panes, while both have pointed-arched overlights, the one on the right incorporating Gothic glazing-bars. To the left of the entrance is a six-pane French window with a four-pane divided overlight, and to the right a four-pane French window with a divided overlight, both set within verandahs with balconies; the left one has four-centred arches, decorative posts, and a cusped cornice. The basement has glazed doors and eight-over-eight sashes. Finials are present on the gable, and there are end stacks.

The interior retains original plasterwork and joinery, including shutters to some windows.

The attached wall to the right features a pointed-arched, chamfered opening and remains of battlements, and adjoins No. 21 Leam Terrace. Decorative lancet railings are present alongside the steps.

Leam Terrace was laid out between approximately 1828 and 1836 and was almost completely built by 1841.
