Description
A row of five terrace houses dating to the early 19th century, with later additions, situated on Prospect Place. The houses are built of painted limestone ashlar and render, with double-pitched roofs featuring moulded stacks to the party walls. Wrought iron railings lead to steps up to the front doors. Originally designed as two storeys with basements, the facades have a one and two-window range. Each house features a coped parapet and stepped cornice. No. 15, the leftmost house, has a single window range with splayed reveals to six-pane sash windows. A six-panel door, glazed to the top, is located to the left, set within a simple porch with consoles to the upper corners. No. 16 is faced in painted limestone ashlar, with a two-window range and plate glass sash windows, also with splayed reveals. Railings are present to the left of the steps leading to a six-panel door glazed to the top. The parapets of Nos. 15 and 16 are continuous. No. 17 is slightly lower than the adjacent properties and features a two-window range with plate glass sash windows, those to the first floor having balconettes. Diagonal crosses decorate the railings fronting the area, rising to the left of the steps leading to a four-panel door glazed to the top, set within a porch similar to that of No. 15. No. 18 is slightly taller than the neighbouring houses, with a returned cornice, plate glass sash windows, first-floor windows with balconettes, and a six-panel door glazed to the top, within a porch matching that of No. 15. No. 19 has a two-window range with six-pane sash windows, first-floor windows with balconettes, and a six-pane door on the left, set within a porch similar to that of No. 15. The interiors have not been inspected. The terrace, originally known as Coffin Batch, is believed to have been built for gardeners of municipal gardens, with each house initially provided with two apple trees, some of which remain.
