Description
A row of terraced houses on Wellington Square, dating from the early to mid-19th century. The houses are four storeys high with a basement, built of stucco with a rusticated ground floor. A continuous iron railing runs along the first floor. Each house originally had two windows on the first floor, framed by architraves and cornices supported on consoles. A cill band runs along the second floor, above which is a triglyph frieze and a modillioned cornice with rounded metopes. The top floor windows have architrave surrounds and a cornice with a blocking course.
Several houses in the centre of the row feature Ionic porches and three-light windows on each floor, with the first-floor windows elaborately detailed with cornices, columns, and segmental pediments. Numbers 16, 17, 18, and 19 also have Ionic porches; numbers 17 and 18 have particularly ornate three-light windows on the first floor, also topped with segmental pediments. Number 22 is a smaller, two-storey link house constructed of stucco, with three sash windows and a pedimented door, topped by a balustraded parapet. Number 14 has a single-storey link building providing a porch.
Quoins define all corners of the buildings. Iron area railings and stone steps lead to the front doors. The square is centred around a long, rectangular garden planted with trees.
