Nos 4, 5 And 6 And Attached Railings

This is a terrace of three houses, shops, and attached railings, located in Hove. Nos. 5 and 6 date from around 1828, while No. 4 was built in the mid-19th century. A late 19th-century shopfront was inserted into No. 6, which is now residential.

The houses are constructed of stucco and render, treated to resemble ashlar over brick, with roofs and chimney stacks hidden behind a moulded parapet. No. 4 abuts The Iron Duke (which isn’t included in the listing) and No. 6 returns to Lower Market Street. The terrace has four storeys over a basement, with moulded cornices and flat strings. No. 4 features a full-height canted bay window; it has sash windows with a single vertical glazing bar. There's a cast-iron balcony to the first-floor window, and an entrance to the left of the bay window, above a 20th-century door with a rectangular fanlight. Nos. 5 and 6 have bow-fronted facades with three-window frontages. They also feature sash windows with a mix of glazing bar patterns. No. 5 has French casements to the first floor and a continuous cast-iron balcony that curves at No. 5 and runs straight at No. 6. No. 6 has a flat-roofed Ionic porch with a moulded entablature, the door of which is now blocked, and a three-light arched-head bay window that returns one bay to the left (this was once a shopfront). The entrance to No. 5 has panelled reveals and a panelled door. Cast-iron railings run along the street frontage, returning from the entrances.
