Numbers 30-42 And Attached Railings

Numbers 30-42 and attached railings form a terrace of seven houses built around 1831, with later additions and alterations including attic dormers from the mid to late 20th century. The houses are constructed of reddish-brown brick with painted stucco facades and concealed roofs, and feature cast-iron railings and balconies.

The exterior presents three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a 14-window front. Stucco detailing includes horizontal rustication to the ground floor, pilasters with sunk panels on the ends and to the right of each house across the first and second floors, a continuous frieze, and a deep, moulded cornice. The first floor has tall 6/9 sash windows in plain reveals with tooled architraves, friezes, and cornices. The second floor has 3/6 sash windows with sills. Ground floor entrances are accessed by seven steps to the right of each house, leading to 3-panel doors. The lower panel is roll-moulded, and the right-hand panel is part-glazed with an overlight, all with glazing-bars except one. The windows on the ground floor include three 6/6 sashes with margin-lights, a canted bay of three 1/1 sashes with a frieze and cornice, and three more 6/6 sashes with margin-lights. Some ground floor windows feature banded reveals and sills. Attic dormers are concealed behind the cornice. Basement windows are primarily 8/8 and 4/8 sashes, with board and part-glazed doors. Tall end stacks with cornices are positioned between the dwellings.

The interior was not inspected.

The attached railings have decorative lancet finials and anthemion finials to the newel posts.

Leam Terrace was laid out between 1828 and 1836, with most of the development extending as far as Willes Road completed by 1841. The terrace forms an architectural group with Numbers 48-52 (even).
