Description

Nos. 33-36 and their attached railings form a row of terraced houses dating from around 1820. They are constructed of grey-brown brick laid in a Flemish bond, with roofs of Welsh slate. Nos. 33-36 are three or four storeys high, above a basement, and each has two or three windows, except No. 35, which has two. The entrances have round arches with fluted three-quarter columns and a cornice on No. 33, a reeded doorcase on No. 34, fluted quarter-columns and a cornice on No. 35, and remains of a doorcase with sidelights on No. 36; all have fanlights, with decorative glazing on No. 35. The ground floor windows are round-arched with gauged brick heads, while the upper windows are flat-arched with gauged brick heads. The eastern bay of No. 33 appears to have been rebuilt with two flat-arched windows. First-floor windows on Nos. 33-36 have piano nobile proportions and are set in recessed round-arched panels with gauged brick heads, except on No. 35, and are accompanied by iron balconies. No. 33 has a parapet, with a sloping eastern bay, while Nos. 34 and 35 have a mansard roof with dormers behind the parapet. No. 36 has a front wall carried up to the fourth floor with a vestigial cornice and parapet. Stacks are located on the party walls. The area railings are topped with spearhead and urn finials.
