Numbers 2-10 (Consecutive) And Attached Railings

Numbers 2-10 Duncan Terrace are a group of terraced houses dating from around 1800. They are constructed of yellow brick laid in a Flemish bond pattern, with mansard roofs covered in Welsh slate and artificial slate. The houses originally comprised four storeys over a basement, with numbers 2-5 each having three windows and numbers 6-10 each having two windows.

The central entrance features a round arch with a gauged brick head, recessed and reeded, with a fanlight and panelled doors of original design. Number 3 has quarter-columns and a cornice to its doorcase. Ground-floor windows are round-arched, set within recessed panels with gauged brick heads. Upper-floor windows are flat-arched, also with gauged brick heads, and iron balconies are present to the first floor of numbers 2, 4, 8, and 10, some of which may be replacements. A plaque commemorates Eduard Suess on number 4. Original rainwater heads are located between numbers 3 and 4, and 9 and 10, with an original downpipe between numbers 3 and 4. The windows are 6/6 sashes; those on the ground floor have radiating glazing bars, and windows to numbers 3-4, 5 (second floor), 6 (second floor), 7, 8 (first and second floors), 9, and 10 (ground floor) also feature this detail. A parapet tops the building, and dormer windows are present to all the houses. Chimney stacks are located on the party walls. Cast-iron railings are present to the area, and a scrolled overthrow lampholder is located at numbers 6 and 7.
