Numbers 1 To 12, 25 (Consecutive) And Attached Railings

This is a terrace of 13 houses, numbered 1 to 12 and including number 25, situated in a street leading into Myddelton Square from the west. The houses were constructed around 1828 by William Chadwell Mylne, who was Surveyor to the New River Estate. They are built of yellow stock brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a banded stucco ground floor and stucco dressings. The roofs are hidden, and there are brick party-wall stacks. The design follows a side-hall entrance plan. The houses are generally three storeys high, except number 12, which has four storeys, and have two windows each except number 25, which has a single-window range. The terrace is symmetrical, with numbers 7 and 8 at the centre, incorporating a carriageway which projects slightly. Steps lead to a round-arched, architraved entrance on the left; number 25’s doorway is narrower and has plain jambs. The entrances have fluted Doric columns, fluted pilaster jambs, and quarter-fluted columns supporting a corniced head, with a fanlight above (patterned in numbers 1-3, 8-9, 11-12) and an original panelled door in numbers 2-9 and 11. The windows are predominantly 6/6 sash windows, with some ground-floor sashes featuring curved and radial glazing bars and margin lights. Gauged brick flat arches are above the upper-floor windows, except at number 25, where they are architraved. A stucco sill band runs beneath the upper-floor sashes, which are set in arched recesses and linked by stucco impost bands, again except at number 25, which has shorter sashes without the arched recesses. Individual cast-iron balconies with Vitruvian scroll and anthemion patterns are present, along with railings. The building has a plain brick parapet with stone coping, and attached iron railings with urn finials.
