60, Leam Terrace

This is a villa dating from approximately 1834 to 1838, with subsequent additions and alterations. It is constructed from pinkish-brown brick with a painted stucco front facade, and a concealed roof. The villa is two storeys high, with three windows on the first floor. The first floor features a band surmounted by four Tuscan pilasters, located at the ends and between the windows, and contains six-over-six sash windows with plain reveals and moulded surrounds. A double frieze, cornice and blocking course complete the upper facade. The ground floor has a plinth and horizontal rustication. The central entrance is accessed by four steps, with the first three steps having roll edges, leading to a four-panel door. The door is set between pilaster strips and margin-lights with glazing-bars, and is topped by a fanlight with glazing-bars, all within a distyle Tuscan porch with engaged pilasters and an entablature with a blocking course. To either side of the central entrance are canted bays, each featuring three single-pane sashes. The interior of the villa was not inspected. Leam Terrace was laid out approximately between 1828 and 1836. By 1841, both sides of Willes Road were almost entirely built. Numbers 54 to 66 (even) together with No. 2 Farley Street form an architectural group.
