Description
A row of terraced houses dating to around 1850, developed by Henry Rydon. The houses are numbered 12 to 21 consecutively, and are set in yellow brick laid in a Flemish bond, with stucco detailing. The roofs are hidden behind a parapet. Each house has three storeys over a basement and two windows. The basement and ground floors are stuccoed, with the ground floor decorated by banded rustication. Steps lead to flat-arched entrances, with overlights above the doors; doors on numbers 13 to 14 and 16 to 18 have two round-arched panels. All the windows are flat-arched, with the first-floor windows featuring a moulded stucco architrave and cornice supported on consoles, while the second-floor windows have moulded stucco architraves. Window guards are present on the first floor of numbers 12 to 14 and 17 to 21. A stucco cornice and blocking course runs along the top of the building, with stacks built into the party walls between the houses. Cast-iron railings are attached to the steps and area at the front of the properties.
