Description
Numbers 61 to 66 comprise a terrace of six houses, now used as a hotel and residential properties. They were built around 1793 to 1795 by James Burton. The houses are constructed of Flemish bond brick, although the frontages of numbers 61 to 63 were partly rebuilt following damage during the Second World War. They have Welsh slate roofs with brick ridges and end stacks. The building follows a double-depth plan.
Numbers 61 to 65 are four storeys high, with a basement, arranged as a symmetrical fifteen-window range. The doorways of number 61 feature a 20th-century panelled door within a mid-19th century semicircular stucco surround. Numbers 62 and 63 have late 18th-century six-panelled doors set within similar surrounds, each with late 18th-century fluted and reeded architraves. Numbers 64 and 65 have flat arches over late 19th-century panelled doors on the ground floor, set within channelled stucco. Gauged brick flat arches frame the tall 20th-century casements and plate-glass sashes at the first floor level. Continuous stucco sill bands run beneath the first and third-floor windows. A plain stone coped parapet completes the exterior. Late 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars remain at the rear of numbers 64 and 65.
The interiors retain late 18th-century dog-leg staircases with stick balusters on open strings, featuring fret-cut brackets and wreathed mahogany handrails. Late 18th-century enriched and modillioned plaster cornices are present in most rooms. A mid-19th-century marble fireplace is located in a first-floor room within number 61; numbers 64 and 65 also retain late 18th-century shutters and six-panelled doors set in moulded and reeded architraves. Late 18th-century fireplaces are reportedly present in some rooms, though these could not be inspected.
Number 66 is a four-storey building with a basement and features three windows. The ground floor is of channelled stucco and has a flat arch over a late 19th-century panelled door with an overlight. The ground floor sashes are flat-arched with late 19th-century plate glass. Upper floors have gauged brick flat arches over late 19th-century four-pane plate-glass sashes, with a third-floor stucco sill band. A stone coped parapet tops the facade. The rear features late 18th-century sash windows. The interior of number 66 was not inspected, but is noted to have a late 18th-century/early 19th-century dog-leg staircase with turned balusters.
Attached wrought-iron railings with urn finials are present along the front.
