Number 50-58 (Consecutive) And Attached Railings

Number 50-58 Duncan Terrace comprise a row of terraced houses built in 1791, designed by James Taylor. The houses are constructed of yellow-grey brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with stucco detailing. They are three storeys high, with a basement, and have two or three windows each. The terrace presents a symmetrical appearance, with a central pedimented section (number 54) and the end houses projecting slightly.

The houses have round-arched entrances with detailed brick surrounds, keystones, and fanlights with decorative glass. All windows have brick heads. The ground-floor windows are round-arched, while those on the first and second floors are flat-arched, with the first-floor windows being particularly large, an indication of their importance. A sill band and iron balconies are present on the first floor of number 54. The original sash windows remain, featuring radiating glazing bars on the ground floor of most houses, with other windows featuring more typical long-strip glazing. A stucco string course is visible at the cornice level on numbers 50, 54, and 58. The terrace has a moulded cornice with a pediment over the centrepiece at number 54, and a simpler parapet elsewhere. Internal stacks are located on the party walls.

Number 50 has a double-fronted entrance on Charlton Place, with the central windows blank, and segmental bays to either side featuring flat-arched windows and original sash windows that match the appearance of the Duncan Terrace facade. Cast iron railings are present around the area.
