Description

This is a stuccoed terrace of houses built in the mid-19th century, similar in style to nearby properties but with more elaborate detailing. The terrace comprises numbers 20 to 24 and 26 Queen's Gate. Originally, the listing included numbers 20 to 26 consecutively.

The terrace is five stories high and features Corinthian orders on the first and second floors, with shell decorations above the windows of the third floor. Balconies are present on the first, second, and fourth floors. Ionic porticos are incorporated into the design. The original cornice has been damaged across most of the terrace, with only number 22 retaining its crowning balustrade. Number 25 has been rebuilt.
