Description

A terrace of three houses located on Highgate West Hill, built around 1849. The houses are constructed of multi-coloured stock brick with brick pilaster strips defining the division between each property, extending up through the first floor. Brick quoins mark the left-hand angle of the terrace. The ground floor is stuccoed and designed to resemble ashlar. A stucco cornice runs along the first-floor level. The roofs are slate-covered, with projecting eaves and dormers. The houses are two storeys high with attic accommodation, and each has one window. The entrances are plain and square-headed, with overlights and panelled doors. The ground floor windows are recessed sashes. The first-floor windows are wider, arched sashes, with a shaped stucco panel above the window of number 51. The interiors have not been inspected.
