Description

Nos 34 and 35 Sackville Street are a pair of terrace houses built around 1732. They are faced with stucco and have slate roofs, standing four storeys high with a basement. Each house has three windows across the front. No 34 features a square-headed doorway with stucco architrave on the right side, while No 35 has a doorway on the left with a bold segmental arched architrave. This door is recessed and flanked by Ionic columns that support a transom below a fanlight. The windows are recessed sashes without glazing bars in their architraves, and there are friezes and cornices on the first floor. A parapet with coping and cast iron area railings complete the exterior.

Inside, No 34 has undergone some alterations but still retains enriched Doric pilasters at the entrance passage leading to the staircase compartment. The lower flights of stairs are intact, featuring finely carved cut strings and slender turned columnar balusters. The first floor front room boasts a good late 18th-century plaster ceiling. No 35 has also been altered but maintains a similar entrance hall passage to No 29, with panelling and finely carved cut strings to the stairs, although it has 20th-century balusters. It includes a panelled dado, arched stair lights, an enriched curve at the top of the well, and good doorcases and cornices, along with panelling on the second floor.
