Number 23-29 And Attached Railings

These are a group of terraced houses dating from around 1845, built by Thomas Cubitt. They are constructed of stucco, with the roofline hidden behind a parapet.

The houses comprise Nos. 23 and 25, each with three windows, and Nos. 27 and 29, each with two windows. The frontages of Nos. 23 and 25 are treated as full-height, nearly full-width segmental bays, with entrances at different levels to accommodate a change in street elevation. These entrances are flat-arched, framed by Tuscan pilasters and an entablature, with two ground-floor windows to either side. All windows are flat-arched; those at Nos. 23 and 25 have projecting sills. Each unit has a first-floor balcony with cast-iron railings and brackets, accessed by French doors. The centre second-floor window in each unit is blocked. A cornice runs above the second-floor windows. While the design of Nos. 23 and 25 differs from that of Nos. 27 and 29, the cornice of No. 25 continues with that of No. 27. No. 27 features a round-arched entrance with a fanlight, and to its left is a single-storey canted bay with tripartite windows and Tuscan pilasters at the corners and responds, surmounted by a cornice and blocking course. The bay windows have quadrant corners. No. 25 also has a first-floor balcony, rectangular in plan, with railings matching those on Nos. 23 and 25. A low wing connects Nos. 27 and 29. No. 29 has a flat-arched entrance with an overlight, and to the right of this entrance is a rectangular bay with Tuscan pilasters, quadrant cornered windows, a cornice, and a blocking course. The first-floor balcony railings on No. 29 are 20th century replacements. Original windows are sashes, with 8/12 panes to the first floor and 4/4 panes to the second. The original design includes architraves and sashes. The property has stacks to the party walls.

The interior of the houses has not been inspected. Original railings are present to the stairs, entrances, and areas.
