Description

Numbers 1, 3, and 5 Rex Place, along with the service block along Aldford Street, form a mews area to the rear of numbers 8, 10, and 12 Park Street. The service block, built around 1900, is two storeys high and constructed of stone and brick, matching the main block in materials and design. The units within Rex Place each have two windows and two storeys, with a single, long dormer above. They feature stucco facing, brick, and hipped tile roofs. The windows have segmental arches on the ground floor and flat arches on the first floor and in the dormers. The party walls are visible above the roofline, featuring stone coping.

The main terrace, numbers 8, 10, and 12 Park Street, was constructed between 1897 and 1901 by A.H. Kersey. The houses are built of red brick with Portland stone dressings and a slate roof, and are designed in a Tudor-Gothic style with carved decoration. They comprise four storeys and an attic, with some sections in gables and others in dormers, plus basements. Number 12 is the largest and has an entrance on its side elevation, facing Aldford Street. Numbers 8 and 10 are designed as a pair, each with two windows. Recessed porches project from the ground floor, featuring Tudor arches, paired columns on high pedestals, and an entablature with a carved frieze that extends across the front of all three houses. Paired canted bays with tent roofs extend through the first and second floors of numbers 8 and 10, connected by a continuous band of stone mullioned windows with Tudor cusped arched lights. Recessed windows are placed within arches above the porches. A common gable with flanking miniature bartizan turrets sits over the central bays of numbers 8 and 10, with an elaborate brick chimney stack rising from the apex. The return elevation of number 12 has similar gables, a long multi-light dormer between them, a three-storey canted bay, a recessed porch, and banded fenestration including a large first-floor mullioned and transomed window with Gothic ironwork. Ornate Gothic ironwork is also used for the area railings.
