Nos 1 to 9 Including Basement Area Railings

A terrace of nine houses built in the mid-19th century, located in Dover New Bridge. The buildings are constructed of stock brick with stuccoed frontages and ends, and have a concealed roof behind a parapet. The brick stacks have moulded cornices, some retaining original crenellated yellow clay pots.

The houses are arranged on an obtuse corner site, with a double-depth plan for each, featuring a principal front room to the left or right of the entrance. Number 6, the central house on the right, has two front rooms and a central entrance. The ground floor of number 9 at the right-hand end is used as a restaurant, while the remaining houses are offices.

The terrace is four storeys high with a basement. It has a long, 20-window frontage, divided into bays of 2:2:2:1:3:2:2:2:2:2. A single-window bay curves at the corner, and the adjacent three-window bay is double-fronted, but matches the uniform design of the other houses. The façade features a heavy moulded cornice, a panelled frieze at the third floor sill level, a string at the second floor sill level, and an ornate cast-iron balcony across the first floor. The ground floor is rusticated, with rusticated canted bay windows and Tuscan porches framing 19th-century panelled doors with rectangular overlights. First-floor windows have moulded architraves and cornices supported by brackets. Second-floor windows are arched, and topped by eaved architraves. Third-floor windows are round-headed, with moulded architraves. The ground floor bays extend into the basement. Most windows are original four-pane sashes. Original ornate cast-iron basement area railings and stuccoed piers are also present. The north return elevation is symmetrical with five bays. The rear elevation remains largely unaltered, with small stuccoed porches with moulded cornices, ornate cast-iron balconies to ground-floor garden windows, and original casements with glazing bars. Most other rear windows are original. The interior has not been inspected but likely retains original features such as staircases, joinery, chimneypieces, and plasterwork.
