Description
Number 4 is a terrace house dating from circa 1825, likely designed by Amon Henry Wilds and Charles Augustin Busby. It is constructed of stucco and has a gambrel roof covered in slate. The house is three storeys high with an attic and dormers, and sits above a basement. It has a three-window facade.
Remains of a mid to late 19th century shop front are present at ground floor level, featuring an entablature with acanthus bracket stops. All windows are flat-arched. The first-floor windows extend from floor to ceiling and open onto a shallow balcony enclosed by cast-iron railings. The second-floor windows have projecting sills. Four prominent Tuscan pilasters with moulded capitals are applied to the first and second floors, supporting a broad entablature with a projecting cornice. The sills of the attic windows align with the upper fascia of this cornice. The attic has a diminutive entablature topped by a parapet and two flat-arched dormers. The original windows largely retain their design with 9/9 sashes to the first floor, 6/6 sashes to the second floor, and 3/6 sashes to the attic. Stacks are located within the party wall. The interior has not been inspected.
