Semi-detached houses. 1847-9. Developed, and probably designed, by James Wagstaffe. Yellow brick set in Flemish bond with dressings of stucco and roof of slate. Three storeys over basement, three windows each. Basement stuccoed. The entrance is up steps in a two-storey, outer bay, slightly set back: flat-arched entrance with pilaster-jambs, cornice, overlight and panelled door of original design; no 8 has a flat-arched window over with architrave; no 9 has a round-arched porch added in front of the entrance, with all its mouldings now stripped, and the first floor rebuilt over. On the rest of each house, flat-arched windows to all floors, those to ground and first floors with architrave and cornice on consoles, those to second floor with architraves linked to the bracketed and moulded eaves cornice; hipped roof, stacks to party walls. No 9 has single-storey C20 extension, set back. (Historians' file, English Heritage London Division).
