Description
Numbers 25-39C form a terrace of houses built between 1776 and 1778 and developed and designed by John Spiller. The buildings are constructed of brick and stucco with slate roofs. They are three storeys high, with a basement level, and some have dormers in the attic. Each house originally had three windows, though numbers 25 and 39C are set back from the main line by the thickness of one brick, with windows of wider proportions.
The architectural style is symmetrical, with number 32 acting as a central feature. Most entrances are round-arched, featuring a fanlight and a shallow open pediment supported by consoles. Windows typically have flat arches with gauged brick heads, many retaining their original 6/6 sash windows. A broad band runs along the parapet, and dormers are visible in the mansard roof. Stacks are located on the party walls between the houses.
Number 25 includes a side entrance with a tripartite door, and three ground-floor windows recessed within semi-circular arches linked by springing bands. A plaque commemorates that the Rt Hon Joseph Chamberlain lived there. A former coach house range is linked to the coach house of number 24. Number 26 features decorative glazing in the fanlight and a panelled door of original design, along with a wrought-iron overthrow lampholder. Number 28 has decorative glazing in the fanlight, a panelled door of original design, intersecting glazing bars to the ground and first floor windows, the latter being lowered. Numbers 29 and 30 have decorative glazing in their fanlights and panelled doors of original design. Number 31 incorporates an early 19th-century reeded doorcase, decorative glazing to the fanlight, and a panelled door of original design. Number 32 displays a five-bay frontage, original sashes throughout, a wooden Doric porch with a frieze decorated with wreaths and triglyphs, a Gibbs surround to the door, decorative glazing to the fanlight, and a panelled door of original design. Number 33 has a reeded doorcase and decorative glazing to the fanlight. Numbers 34-5 feature decorative glazing to the fanlight and panelled doors of original design; numbers 35-6 have wrought-iron overthrow lampholders; number 38 has decorative glazing to the fanlight, a panelled door of original design, and a wrought-iron overthrow lampholder. Number 39C has a central entrance grouped with the ground-floor windows within semi-circular arches of gauged brick. It features a simple door-void doorcase with a panelled door and fanlight, and a wrought-iron overthrow lampholder. Cast-iron railings are present at the area.
