Nos. 15 And 16 And Attached Railings

Nos. 15 and 16 are a pair of terrace houses dating from 1764 to 1770, with alterations around 1840. They are constructed of limestone ashlar with slate roofs. These are generous town houses, characterised by double mansard roofs and doorways leading to a side entry and staircase.

The houses are three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and each has a single bay. All the windows are sash windows. Both houses have two twelve-pane dormers above tripartite windows. Number 15 has an eight:twelve:eight-pane sash window at each of the three upper levels; the first-floor window has a wide balconette, and the ground-floor window is within a splayed surround, with two twelve-pane windows in the basement. Number 16 has plain sash windows, with the first-floor window being Venetian in style, featuring a central round-headed sash with intersecting bars to the head and a full-width balconette; it also has two twelve-pane windows in the basement. Each house features a six-panel door with an architrave and closed pediment on pilasters with consoles. There is a platband above the ground floor, a modillion cornice with a blocking course, and a parapet, with coped party divisions and a stack at each end. Each end has a lead downpipe and a visible straight joint in the masonry. The rear elevation has various sash windows with glazing bars.

The interiors have not been inspected. Simple iron railings on a stone curb enclose the basement areas. The staggered building history of the row is revealed in the external fabric; the full terrace demonstrates a broad consistency of detail, but with variations in elevations, built in small sections, marked by straight joints. The ornately Grecian and Soanian-style elevation with a porch to No. 24 has been attributed to Edward Davis, a pupil of Sir John Soane.
