Description
Nos. 1, 2, and 3, along with the adjoining boundary walls, form a terrace of three houses, now including a shop at the right-hand property. The houses date to the early 19th century, likely built in two phases with later additions and alterations, including a shop front around 1900. They are constructed of red brick with painted stucco dressings, topped with a hipped slate roof. A brick stack is located at the east end, with a hip stack and two further stacks at the party walls separating the left-hand houses, all featuring overhanging detail and decorative pots. Wrought-iron balconettes are present, along with timber porches with lead roofs and cast-iron spandrel brackets. Brick and stone copings define the brick boundary wall.
The terrace is three storeys high with a basement, originally featuring six (2:2:2) windows on the first floor. The stucco detailing includes a cornice and parapet on the south elevation, as well as window sills. The window arrangement consists of 6/9 sashes on the first floor, 6/6 on the ground floor, and 3/3 on the second floor, all within plain reveals with sills and flat arches constructed from gauged brick. Decorative bowed balconettes adorn all first-floor windows. The first and second-floor windows on the left-hand house retain external blind boxes. Open porches with tented roofs and ornamental spandrel brackets are present, with a shared porch for the right-hand houses (Nos. 1 and 2) featuring a panelled privacy screen.
The entrances are located on the left, right, and left sides, each featuring a five-panel door with flush-beaded lower panels, a bolection-moulded centre and upper panel, and a radial fanlight above. The doorcases have plain reveals and sunken panels on the pilasters. The east-facing (Barbourne Road) elevation has three first-floor windows, with 3/3 sashes on the second floor. Otherwise, the ground floor has a canted bay window (4/4:8/8:4/4) with fluted architraves and a hipped lead roof with dentilled eaves. The shop, at basement (street) level, incorporates a plate glass window and console brackets supporting the fascia.
The interior has not been inspected.
The boundary wall, approximately 2.5 metres high, abuts the southeast corner and forms the eastern and southern boundaries. Three pedestrian entrances with segmental arches are cut into the south side of the wall, leading to flights of stone steps up to the garden and porch levels.
