Nos 48-64 (Consecutive) And Attached Railings

This is a terrace of dwellings dating from around 1830, situated in Waterloo Street, Hove. The buildings were later altered, with mid-to-late 20th century shopfronts added and some bow windows rebuilt in the 1980s during a period of restoration. The buildings are constructed of stucco over brick, with some steeply-pitched slate roofs, and others hidden behind parapets. Brick stacks are rendered. Number 48 returns to Ivy Place, and number 64 abuts number 65, which is not included in the listing.

Most of the buildings are three storeys plus an attic over a basement, although some are four storeys high. The facades show a variety of designs, generally featuring moulded parapets, cast-iron balconies to the first-floor windows, and rusticated ground floors. Most windows are sash windows with mixed glazing bar patterns. Some are canted bays, and others are full-height bows with tripartite sashes.

Numbers 54 to 59 feature giant Corinthian pilasters supporting an entablature, with acute-angled pediments above. Number 54 has an added storey and a rebuilt canted bay. Numbers 55 and 56 have bow fronts, and numbers 57 to 59 feature canted bays. There is an arched head recess to the carriageway entrance. The doors are mostly 20th century, with rectangular fanlights, and some inserted shop fronts are present. Cast-iron railings extend from the entrances along the street frontage, with gates providing access to basement areas.
