Numbers 22-32 (Consecutive) and Attached Railings

Numbers 22-32 Duncan Terrace are a group of terraced houses built between 1828 and 1833. They were developed by James Rhodes, likely designed by J.W. Griffith, and constructed by James Hamber. The houses are laid out symmetrically, with numbers 26-8 projecting as a central feature and numbers 22 and 32 acting as end pieces. They are built of yellow brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with stucco dressings and mansard roofs covered in Welsh and artificial slate.

The houses are three and four storeys high, with a basement level, and generally have two windows each, although numbers 22 and 32 have three. The basement and ground floors are stuccoed, with the ground floor decorated with chamfered rustication. Steps lead to round-arched entrances, each featuring recessed engaged Greek Doric columns, a cornice, and a fanlight with decorative glazing. The fanlights of numbers 24-26, 28, 31-32 incorporate lanterns, and the original panelled doors remain at all properties except number 29. Upper floor windows are flat-arched, though the ground floor windows of number 22 are round-arched, all bearing gauged brick heads. A continuous bracketed balcony with iron railings runs along the first floor, and a sill band is present to the second-floor windows of numbers 22, 26-28, and 32. The original sash windows remain in numbers 22-25, 26 (ground floor), 28 (ground floor), 29 (first floor), 30 (second floor), 31 (ground and first floors), and 32 (first and second floors). A moulded stucco cornice runs along the top of the building, though this is missing from numbers 29-31. Numbers 22, 26-8, and 32 have balustrades to the parapet, and dormers are present in the mansard roof of numbers 22, 24, 26, 28-32. Original cast-iron railings are found to the area.
