Numbers 1 to 15 and Attached Railings

A terrace of officers' houses, now comprising 15 houses and offices, was constructed between 1829 and 1833 by George Ledwell Taylor, the architect to the Navy Board, and John Rennie Snr, the engineer. The buildings are located within Sheerness Dockyard. They are built of yellow stock brick with rubbed brick heads, rendered dressings, party wall stacks, and an end gable ridge stack. The roofs are slate and feature a mansard design.

The terrace is in a Late Georgian style. Each house has a double-depth plan, possibly originally back-to-back, divided into two at the rear. Externally, each house is two storeys high with an attic and basement, and has a five-window range. They feature a rendered plat band, cornice, and blocking course. A central timber porch with paired pilasters, a cornice, blocking course, and architraves frame the doorways, which have double six-panel doors with raised panels. Windows are nine-pane sashes, with rendered reveals. Flat-headed attic dormers contain six-pane sashes. The rear elevation is similar, with early 20th-century lavatories projecting over the central entrances on iron posts, and the windows spaced 3:2 with the door to the left.

Internally, the front houses feature a central hall with enriched cornices, panelled shutters, and doors. The rear houses have similar fittings, including a curved dogleg stair from the entrance hall with stick balusters, a fluted newel and curtail, and an inner back door with stained glass margin panes.

Attached cast-iron basement area spear-headed railings with urn finials are a subsidiary feature.

Historically, the terrace housed Yard Officers and was designed to complement the adjoining Commissioner’s House. It was once referred to as "Houses for Inferior Officers." The location was intended to have proportionately more accommodation than other dockyards due to the site’s remoteness. The original internal planning is unclear, but it is believed that each house may have always been divided into three. The terrace forms part of a little-altered section of Rennie's model layout, which contains the entrance, chapel, and officers' accommodation, and represents a unique planned early 19th-century dockyard.
