Numbers 3 And 5 And Attached Railings

Numbers 3 and 5 are a pair of probably three-storey terraced houses, likely dating from 1828 to 1829. They were designed by William Chadwell Mylne, who was Surveyor for the New River Estate. The houses are constructed of multi-coloured stock brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with banded stucco to the ground floor of number 5. The reveals of the windows are painted throughout. The roofs are hidden by later additions, and there are party-wall brick stacks.

Number 5 has a side-hall entrance plan, while number 3 originally had a late 19th-century carriage entrance on its left side, although the original plan is unknown. Both houses have a basement. Number 3 has four windows to each elevation, and number 5 has two. Steps lead to a round-arched entrance at number 5, with a smaller round-arched entrance to the right. The main entrance has attached Doric columns supporting a corniced head, a fanlight (patterned in number 3), and a panelled door. The ground-floor windows are 2/2 round-arched sashes. Upper-floor windows have 6/6 sashes under gauged-brick flat arches, with some pivot windows. A stucco sill band runs across the first floor of number 5. Some rebuilding of the upper floors has occurred, and the houses have a plain brick parapet with stone coping. Attached cast-iron railings feature urn finials.
