Description

Number 90 is a single house, built around 1840, and is linked to No. 91. It features a stucco exterior and a slate roof. The building has two storeys over a basement, with dormers and a four-window range. The main part of the house is double-fronted, with a shallow, two-storey segmental bay on either side of the entrance. The basement and ground floor are decorated with chamfered rustication, and the main front has quoins that are vermiculated at ground-floor level.

There are steps leading up to a segmental-arched entrance, which is framed by an elaborate iron porch with elliptical arches, slim columns, foliage capitals, and arabesques in the spandrels. The tympanum and side panels contain stained glass, and there is scrolling cresting on top. Inside the porch are separate wrought-iron gates. The panelled door is framed by a wooden doorcase with pilasters and an entablature, featuring scrolling ironwork in the tympanum above and plaster motifs of leaves and buds on the wall above that. Most of the porch and entrance details, except possibly the segmental arch, likely date from the late 19th century.

All windows on the main front are flat-arched and tripartite, with fluted pilasters on the mullions. There is a storey band between the ground and first floors and a lintel band at the first floor. The eaves are coved. To the south, there is a bay with a one-window range, a side passage entrance, and two windows above with moulded stucco architraves, while the lower part is blank. The return to Montpelier Terrace has a two-window range, with windows that also have moulded stucco architraves. There is a two-storey addition to the east, dormers on the hipped roof, and side stacks, with the northern stacks featuring tall, castellated, and ornamented pots.

In the front garden, there are five square, stuccoed, corniced, and panelled piers, with those flanking the entrance displaying egg-and-dart mouldings, and a low corniced wall between them. The interior has not been inspected.
