Numbers 3 To 13 (Consecutive) And Attached Railings

Numbers 3 to 13 and their attached railings form a terrace of houses built around 1789. The houses are constructed of yellow brick in a Flemish bond, with stucco dressings and roofs of Welsh slate and artificial slate. The buildings are four or five storeys high, with a basement, and each house originally had three windows.

A grand round-arched entrance, set within a recessed surround with a gauged brick head, provides access; this is topped with a reeded and panelled cornice and a fanlight. Several houses feature decorative fanlights above their doors, while number 8 has chamfered, rusticated stucco to the ground floor, a moulded stucco architrave to the entrance, and a decorative fanlight. The windows are flat-arched with gauged brick heads. Those on the first floor are set within round-arched recesses with gauged brick heads and are of piano nobile proportions. Segmental iron balconies are present on the first-floor windows of all but number 22. Original rainwater heads and downpipes are located between numbers 8 and 9. The windows are 6/6 sashes, largely original, with replacements on the ground and second floors of number 9, numbers 10 and 11, the ground and first floors of number 12, and the ground and second floors of number 13. The building is topped with a cornice of brick and moulded stucco, and a parapet. Dormers are incorporated into the mansard roof, with two storeys of dormers on number 12. Stacks are located within the party walls. The area railings include urn standards with spike finials, and scrolled overthrow lampholders are present at numbers 5, 6, 8, and 9.
