44-114, CLOUDESLEY ROAD

This is a row of terraced houses, built between 1825 and 1828. The houses are constructed of stucco and yellow brick laid in a Flemish bond pattern, with a roof hidden behind a parapet. They are three storeys high with a basement, and each house originally had two windows.

The ground floor is decorated with banded rustication, and features an elliptical-arched entrance, often slightly set back, beneath an elliptical arch of smooth stucco. Variations in the entrance detailing are seen along the terrace: panelled pilasters with fluted consoles supporting cornices appear at numbers 48-80, followed by fluted quarter-columns at numbers 82-88. Number 90 has fluted pilasters and consoles, number 92 a fluted simplified Doric column, numbers 94-102 fluted quarter-columns, and numbers 104-108 plain pilasters. The ground-floor windows are also elliptical-arched and set back, with the stucco terminating at a broad sill band. First- and second-floor windows are flat-arched, with heads of gauged brick. The first-floor windows are set under round arches of gauged brick, linked by a moulded springing band. Original cast-iron balconies are present to the first-floor windows. Stacks are located within the party walls.

Individual houses have distinct features: numbers 44-46 have smooth stucco to the ground floor and round-arched entrances with fanlights; number 46 lacks the first-floor arcading and the second-floor windows have been rebuilt. Numbers 48-50 have original panelled doors, decorative glazing to their fanlights, and have been rebuilt on the first and second floors, lacking arcading. Number 56 has decorative glazing to its fanlight. Number 58 retains original sash windows with intersecting tracery to the ground floor. Numbers 60-62 have original panelled doors and decorative glazing to their fanlights. Number 78 has decorative glazing to its fanlight, and number 84 an original panelled door. Number 92 is set forward slightly, with three windows, a double-fronted design, decorative glazing to its fanlight, and elliptical-arched windows to either side on the ground floor. The upper windows have been rebuilt and lack arcading. Numbers 94-100 have decorative glazing to their fanlights, numbers 98 and 102 have original panelled doors, and numbers 104-108 have decorative glazing to their fanlights. Number 110 has a narrow elliptical-arched entrance with a panelled door, while number 112 has a narrow segmental-arched entrance. Number 114 had its ground floor altered to a shop in the 19th century but has since been reinstated to match the rest of the terrace.
