Numbers 29-45 And Attached Railings

Numbers 29-45 and attached railings form a terrace of seventeen houses built in 1794, with later alterations. The buildings are constructed of yellow brick with stucco dressings, featuring a dentil cornice and brick parapet. Numbers 29-32 have upper floors that have been rebuilt, with the original cornice removed and the parapet raised. Number 45 has a stuccoed cornice and blocking course. Slate mansard roofs are present with dormers to numbers 29-32, 37-38, and 45.

The houses are three storeys high (four to number 36), with basements and some attics. Each house generally has two bays, except for number 45 which has one bay. The doorways are round-headed, featuring decorative fanlights within stucco-lined recesses, except for numbers 29-32 which have stucco architraves. Continuous break-front cornice heads are present, incorporating stucco impost blocks and keys. Number 29 features a panelled wood casing with fluted pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice, and retains its original door with reeded half-columns and a cornice head. Number 45 has a door on the return with a moulded architrave and vermiculated key to a round-arched opening containing its original door with a cornice head. A slightly projecting central section, encompassing numbers 35-38, is set on two planes, with first-floor windows recessed and featuring a stucco string at the spring and a sill band. Numbers 43-44 also project slightly with similar detailing. Number 36 boasts a stuccoed bowed front to the ground floor. Numbers 29-32 have a stucco band at the first-floor sills. Windows generally have gauged, flat brick arches and are mostly sash windows with glazing bars, except for numbers 29-32, which have lengthened casements. Number 29 has a cast-iron balcony at the first floor. The interior was not inspected during listing. Subsidiary features include cast-iron hand rails and area railings. The terrace was designed as a unified composition, reflecting its contribution to the group of buildings forming West Square.
