Description
The property comprises four terraced houses, numbered 2 to 5, along with attached railings to numbers 2, 4, and 5. These were likely built around 1828-1830, with subsequent additions and alterations. The houses are constructed with stucco, scored to resemble ashlar, over a brick base, and have a slate roof. The roof features brick stacks, with the stack on the left side rendered. The windows are primarily six-over-six sashes on the ground and first floors, and three-over-three sashes on the second floor, all set in plain reveals with sills. The building has a plain eaves band. The basements have casement windows.
The entrances are all located on the left side of each house, accessed by flights of five steps. Most of the original doors remain, featuring five panels with two lower panels that have beading; the central panel of these doors typically includes an oval motif and quatrefoil, along with a lion-head knocker. One door has been replaced with a six-panel door. All entrances have fluted friezes and fanlights, with decorative lozenge glazing bars in the fanlights of the doors on the right and off-centre left. The door frames are fluted with lion masks at the imposts and keystones. There are outshuts to the rear. The left return showcases modillion eaves. The rear returns feature six-over-six and three-over-three sashes.
The interiors were not inspected.
The attached area railings and those along the sides of the steps have distinctive motifs; the railings on the left have a heart-and-honeysuckle design, while those on the right feature rods with a scroll motif and stick railings.
Green Hill was developed around 1828. Houses numbered 2 to 10 (consecutive), along with numbers 12, 14, 15, and 16, form a significant group of early 19th-century houses.
