Description

A row of twelve terraced houses was built around 1825 to 1828. The houses are constructed of multi-coloured stock bricks laid in a Flemish bond pattern, with simple stucco dressings. The roofs are hidden behind a parapet, and there are brick party-wall stacks. Each house has three storeys and two windows. They follow a side-hall entrance plan, with number 166 having a side entrance facing Richmond Avenue. Low steps lead to the entrance in the left bay, featuring doorways with jambs of quarter-fluted columns supporting corniced heads. The doorways have panelled doors and plain fanlights, with the fanlights at numbers 158 and 160 featuring curved and radial glazing bars. The ground floor has gauged brick round arches over 1/1 sash windows; number 162 has a 6/6 window with curved glazing bars in a Gothic style, and number 166 has 6/6 windows with curved and radial sashes. The upper floors have gauged brick flat arches over 2/2 sashes at numbers 144 to 160 and 162, and 6/6 sashes at numbers 164 and 166. A stucco sill band is present on the first floor, marking the full-length sashes set in arched recesses linked by stucco impost bands. Cast iron balconies with a spiderweb pattern are present to the railings, individual to numbers 144 and 148 to 160, and coupled to numbers 162 to 166; the balcony at number 146 is missing. The houses have a plain brick parapet with stone coping, and attached iron area railings.
