Terrace row. c.1826-7. Flemish bond and brick with slate roof and brick stacks, stucco to end houses. Double-depth plans. 2 storeys to central houses, flanked by a 3-storey house at either end, with No.84 of 2 storeys beyond. Terrace row of 10-window range with semi-circular arches over blocked doorways and windows, and flat gauged-brick arches over first floor windows with some 12-paned sashes all set in semi-circular arched reveals. Flanking houses each of two bays have stucco fronts each with keyed arches over windows and doors within rusticated ground floors, and flat arches over framed 12-paned sashes to upper floors; moulded cornices beneath parapets. Canted bays to rear with sash windows under gauged brick heads. Interiors retain stick baluster dog-leg stairs, some contemporary fireplaces and panelling.

This terrace forms an impressive composition, unusual in lower-class housing of the early nineteenth century, linking the formal layouts of Sidney and Ford Squares.
