26, Newbold Terrace East

This is a mid-19th century villa, altered in later years. It is constructed of brick with painted stucco, and has a Welsh slate roof. The architectural style is Italianate.

The exterior is two storeys with four first-floor windows, and a recessed, three-storey, single-window tower to the right. A moulded plinth is present, along with rusticated bands to the angles at ground-floor level and quoins to the first floor. There are thirteen roll-edged steps leading to an off-centre entrance, featuring a four-panel door with glazed sidelights, all under a large, semi-circular fanlight with etched glass. The entrance is sheltered by a distyle, fluted Corinthian porch. To the left are two round-arched sash windows with moulded aprons between pilaster strips supporting a moulded round arch with foliage in the spandrels and a central keystone. To the right, a rusticated canted bay, extending to full height, has moulded imposts and a keystone. Adjacent to the bay is a Tuscan pergola, now glazed. A moulded dentil cornice runs along the first floor.

The first floor has three round-arched plate-glass and French windows, each with a 'balcony' featuring bulbous balusters and tooled architraves with central keystones and foliage to the spandrels. The canted bay features four round-arched plate-glass windows with pilasters and a central column, all with Corinthian capitals, moulded round arches with central keystones, and aprons. A modillion frieze with corbels and a cornice is also present. A low parapet incorporates bulbous balusters interrupted by squat pedestals. The roof is hipped, with end stacks.

The tower's ground floor is hidden by the pergola; the first floor has a pair of blind, round-arched recesses with central keystones and a continuous moulded impost band. The second floor has three tall, narrow, round-arched windows with 1/1 sashes, Tuscan pilasters between with continuous, moulded, round-arched heads; the pilasters are on plinths clasping ángeles. The tower has a tent roof and end stack.

The interior includes rooms with moulded cornices, one with a deep acanthus frieze, and another with a grape frieze. The entrance hall ceiling is partitioned with moulded cornices and ceiling roses. A wreathed handrail and ornate cast-iron balusters are found on the openwell staircase, alongside four-pane doors.

Newbold Terrace began construction in 1828 but was not completed for many years. The property forms an architectural group with No. 27.
