Description
Numbers 1-5 are a group of five terraced houses, now used as hotels and an office, dating from approximately the 1840s. They are built of yellow stock brick, with the ground floors of numbers 1-3 being rusticated stucco. Numbers 3 and 4 have painted ground floors. Numbers 2-4 have slated mansard roofs with dormers. The houses are four storeys high, with numbers 2-4 also containing attics and basements. Each house has two windows. The ground floor openings have round arches, and the first-floor windows are accompanied by cast-iron balconies. They have parapets.
Number 1 features a stucco portico extension to the return, with pilasters supporting an entablature. The round-arched doorway has fluted Doric three-quarter columns supporting a cornice head, a fanlight, and a panelled door. Number 2 has a doorway with pilaster-jambs carrying a cornice head, a fanlight, and a panelled door. Number 3 has a 20th-century doorway and door. Number 4 has a window where a doorway once stood. Number 5 has gauged brick flat arches to the recessed sashes and casements, with the first floor windows set in shallow arched recesses. The interiors have not been inspected.
Attached cast-iron railings, many with bud finials, border the front areas.
