Description

This is a row of ten terraced houses, built in the early 19th century and stepped uphill, with 20th-century alterations. They are constructed from limestone ashlar, and have double-pitched roofs with moulded stacks, some topped with hand-thrown chimney pots positioned to the left of each house. The houses are arranged with double-depth plans.

The external appearance is of three storeys, with each house featuring a two-window front. Coped cornices rise over the gable ends, while stepped cornices and sill bands mark the first and second floors. The ground floor windows are tall and have semicircular arched recesses above them. Similar, smaller recesses are positioned above the semicircular arched fanlights and doors, which have reeded lintels. Originally, the windows were sash windows with six/six-pane and eight/eight-pane glazing, and the doors were six-panel affairs with inverted corners to the upper panels.

Individual houses display variations: Number 1 has two/two-pane sash windows, with a balconette to the first floor window, and a late 19th-century six-panel door with bolection moulding. Number 2 retains horned six/six-pane sash windows and a 20th-century door. Number 3 features two/two-pane sash windows and partial balconette to the first floor, alongside a 20th-century door. Number 4 has six/six-pane sash windows to the second floor, an eight/eight-pane sash to the left on the first floor, and a 20th-century window replacing a blind window above a 20th-century door. Number 5 has two/two-pane sash windows and a cobweb fanlight. Number 6 includes two/two-pane sash windows and a first-floor balconette. Number 7 features two/two-pane sash windows, and a reeded lintel over the door. Number 8 has a late 19th-century four-panel door with bolection moulding. Number 9 showcases plate-glass sash windows and a six-panel door. Finally, Number 10 has two/two-pane sash windows, a first-floor balconette, and a six-panel door. The interiors have not been inspected.
