Description
This is a mid-19th century terrace of six houses, numbered 4 to 8, situated on the west side of Grafton Square. Each house is three storeys high with a basement, and has two windows. The exteriors are stuccoed, with a rusticated ground floor and basement. A continuous cornice runs along the terrace, incorporating the cornices above the doors and windows, and supports two-storey pilasters extending to a frieze, a cornice, and a panelled parapet. Ornamental paired brackets are located on the cornice. The windows are sash windows with horizontal glazing bars, arranged alternately as single windows and tripartite windows. The second-floor windows have in-moulded architraves. The first and ground floor windows are set beneath console bracketed cornices, and feature an ornamental surround of sunflower stems in high relief, with flowers as angle paterae, although many of these flowers are now missing. Pediments and cast iron window guards are present on the ground floor windows. Six steps, with stuccoed balustrades, lead to half-glazed, four-panel doors, which are set back behind modified entablature surrounds.
