Description

A group of flats constructed in 1895. The buildings are of brick with detailing in stone, stucco or cement, tile hanging, and tiled roofs. The terrace curves slightly away from the sea and presents as a row of twenty distinct units, resembling town houses. The most significant facades face the sea front (La Wan Parade), although the entrances are located on Knole Road.

Along the sea front, each facade is two windows wide and five storeys high, incorporating a half-basement and two gable ends. The style is a version of Queen Anne. The symmetrical terrace features a central group of four houses with three-storey bays. Eight houses flank either side, arranged in pairs and alternating between shaped and straight-sided gables that project and recede. A balcony runs along the ground floor, providing access to shared flights of steps leading down to the gardens, while a second balcony is continuous at the first floor, except on either side of the westernmost three-storey bay. Original boundary walls and piers remain in the front gardens, but railings have been lost. Numerous small-scale alterations have affected the windows and doors on the sea front elevation, with numbers 5 and 7 showing the least alteration.

The blocks of flats facing Knole Road are four storeys high over a half-basement. The main elevation is treated as a shallow, gabled bay, one window wide, with tile hanging and single bargeboards. Each pair of houses is fronted and linked by a three-storey entrance wing; most originally had two entrances, one for each house. This elevation is in a Domestic Revival style, with consistent detailing across all twenty blocks. Narrow facades on Middlesex Road and Brassey Road feature stucco or cement ornament.
