Numbers 32 And 34 And Attached Railings

Two houses, likely built around 1843 to 1845, possibly designed by the Brighton architect Amon Henry Wilds. The houses are constructed of stucco with a hipped slate roof and overhanging eaves. Each house is two storeys high with a semi-basement, featuring two bays. Large, fluted Ionic pilasters extend through the ground and first floors, framing the inner bay of each house and supporting segmental arches above the first-floor windows. The outer entrance bays are slightly recessed, with steps leading to a square Ionic porch – the porch is missing from number 34. The porch has a deep entablature and pilasters mirroring those of the building. The sash windows in the inner bays are segmental-headed, while those above the porch are round-headed within a shallow round-arched recess. A string course runs above the basement level. Decorative cast-iron grilles are present on the ground-floor windows. The interior has not been inspected. The property includes area railings and rails to the porch. The houses are part of a row of four identical, semi-detached properties set back from the street, facing a similar row of nine. Numbers 1 to 35 (odd) and 24 to 38 (even) form a group.
