Description
Numbers 9, 11 and 13 and their attached railings are a group of three terraced houses built between 1828 and 1829. They were designed by William Chadwell Mylne, who was the surveyor for the New River Estate. The houses are constructed of yellow stock brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with painted reveals, and number 13 has a wooden shopfront. The roofs are not visible, and the houses have brick party-wall stacks.
The architectural arrangement follows a side-hall entrance plan for numbers 9 and 11, with the ground floor of number 13 converted to a shop with domestic rooms above. The houses are three storeys high with a basement, and each has two windows. A set of low steps leads to a round-arched house entrance on the right side: doorways to numbers 9 and 11 feature Doric column jambs, while number 13 has pilaster jambs. Each doorway has a corniced head, a fanlight (the fanlight to number 13 is patterned), and a 20th-century panelled door. Numbers 9 and 11 have 8/8 sash windows on the ground floor. Number 13 has an altered wooden shopfront with console-bracketed pilasters supporting an entablature, a shop door in the centre, and large paned windows on either side. The upper floors have 6/6 sash windows with gauged brick flat arches. The first floor windows have full-length sashes with paired iron balconies featuring a Gothic pattern to the railings of number 13. Some rebuilding of the upper floors has occurred. A plain brick parapet with stone coping tops the building. Attached cast-iron railings have spearhead and urn finials.
