33-39, Southgate Street

This is a row of six mid-19th century houses, numbered 33 to 39, on the east side of Southgate Street. They were built in 1833. The houses are constructed of yellow-grey brick with stucco dressings. They have four storeys and originally contained two to five windows each. The central section of the row projects and is defined by quoins.

The ground floor is rusticated stucco with three-light sash windows divided by mullions, and a decorative cornice above. The first-floor windows are set within stucco architrave surrounds, topped with segmental or triangular pediments. On the second floor, the central windows have bracketed cills, while the outer windows have two horizontal bands of cills. A heavy entablature with a dentilled cornice runs above the second floor. The top floor is an attic, with windows in stucco surrounds, cornices, and panelled corner piers. Original iron area railings are present.

Originally, the houses had stucco porches, which have since been removed, although the pilasters remain. Number 39 differs from the others; it lacks glazing bars in its windows and the brickwork has been "raddled". The buildings are listed for their group value, recognised as contributing to the character of the east side of Southgate Street.
