Numbers 44 to 47 (Consecutive) and Attached Railings

Numbers 44 to 47 form a terrace of four semi-detached villas linked together, built on a hillside. The street was laid out in 1832 by John Booth and his son, surveyors for the Lloyd Baker Estate. The houses are built of gold stock bricks in a Flemish bond pattern, with stucco dressings and stucco pediments above each pair. They have gabled roofs, though the roofing materials are hidden by a parapet, and brick stacks in the centre. Each house has a side-hall entrance plan, with the exception of number 44, which has a porticoed side entrance on its left-hand return wall in Granville Street. They are designed in a restrained Greek Revival style.

The houses are two storeys high with basements, each featuring two windows, including a recessed one-window entrance bay that serves as a link between the properties. Low steps lead to a deeply recessed stucco entrance with antae (flat, rectangular supports) supporting an entablature topped by 20th-century reproduction iron balcony railings; number 44 has coupled antae forming a portico and no railings. Each entrance has an architraved, panelled door. The windows are architraved 8/8 sashes throughout. The first floor has recessed balconied links with narrower doors or sashes, except for number 44, where the portico projects from the roof. A plain stucco band runs beneath the pediments, topped by a parapet with stone coping or a blocking course to the first-floor recessed links. Attached iron railings are present.
