Description

Numbers 32-47 and attached walls and railings form a terrace of houses built around 1870, designed by Thomas Lainson. The houses are constructed of stucco with slate roofs.

Externally, the terrace comprises three storeys over a basement, with most houses featuring a two-window frontage, except for number 39, which is of three-window range and double-fronted. The properties are arranged in pairs, each with a porch accessed from the inner side and a projecting bay window to the street. Steps lead to a flat-arched entrance with an overlight. Basement windows are canted, extending to the ground and first floors. A ground-floor veranda has a swept metal roof supported by cast-iron columns, with openwork to the spandrels, and cast-iron railings extending to the front steps. The ground and first-floor windows are flat-arched, with the angle piers of the bays treated as pilasters on the first floor. A frieze decorates the façade with heart-shaped anthemia motifs. Cast-iron window guards protect the first-floor windows. A dentil cornice and blocking course features to the bays, supporting cast-iron railings that form a balcony to the outer second-floor window, which are round-arched with stucco spandrel motifs. All windows have sash windows without glazing bars. Bracketed eaves cornices and blocking courses run along the roofline. Stacks are corniced, many retaining original trefoiled slabs between flues.

The front gardens are enclosed by stuccoed and coped walls with square, corniced piers marking the gate and the spaces between properties. Many sections of the wall are topped with a low, cusped cast-iron rail. Number 35 lacks a section of garden wall, number 36 lacks the wall entirely at the front, and number 39 is missing a portion of the garden wall, and has sidelights alongside the overlight to the doorcase, and a central first-floor window flanked by pilasters. The terrace is noted for being particularly well preserved.

The interiors have not been inspected.
