Number 15 To 24 And Area Railings

A terrace of ten houses, numbers 15 to 24, forming the east side of a former square, was built between 1842 and 1848. The houses are constructed of grey brick, with number 19 reddened and number 21 painted, over a stuccoed ground floor. The roofs are slate-covered. The houses are four storeys high with basements, and number 15 has attics. Each house is two windows wide. Number 15 terminates the terrace and projects forward, with a wider main bay and an entrance within a narrower bay, featuring a Doric door surround. The other houses have projecting porches. Numbers 17 have a window; the remaining houses have panelled doors, with the door to number 19 featuring raised and fielded panelling. Upper windows have small-paned sashes, with those to numbers 21 (entirely) and 16 (partially) replaced. The first floor windows have casements that open onto projecting balconies with cast-iron railings of a crossed spear pattern, set within round-arched rendered surrounds; all balconies except those to numbers 19 and 22 have rosettes in the spandrels. Ground floor windows are four-light sashes under cambered heads. A heavy stuccoed cornice runs above the second floor. Rendered parapets are present on numbers 15 to 21 and 24; the parapet to numbers 23 and 24 has been renewed in machicolated brick. The interiors were not inspected. The area railings have spearhead finials.
