Numbers 2 To 11 And Attached Railings

Numbers 2 to 11 and attached railings form a terrace of eleven houses, now ten individual units (with the original numbers 1 and 2 combined into number 2), built around 1827. The terrace was designed by John Nash, with additions of the same period by J J Scoles, and constructed by R Mott. The buildings are constructed of stucco, with a rusticated ground floor. They have slate mansard roofs with dormers and large slab chimney stacks.

The architectural style is symmetrical, comprising three storeys (the centre and end houses have four storeys), attics, and basements. Each house originally had three windows. Square-headed doorways have fanlights above panelled doors. The first floor features a continuous cast-iron balcony. Ionic pilasters rise through the first and second floors, supporting an entablature with a balustraded parapet that screens the dormers. A string course runs at the first-floor level. The central house (number 6) has a projecting hexastyle Ionic portico, with columns rising through the first and second floors, supporting a continuous entablature and balustraded parapet screening the attic storey. The end houses (numbers 2 and 11) incorporate tetrastyle Ionic porticoes with similar column arrangement supporting an entablature, balustraded parapet, and a pedimented attic storey. The pediments are decorated with a Classical figure acroterion and tympana featuring wreaths and scrolls.

The attached cast-iron railings have pineapple finials to the areas. The interiors were not inspected. Group value derives from the architectural and historical significance of the terrace as a notable example of early 19th-century design.
