No.10 And Attached Railings And Vaults

No.10 and its attached railings and vaults is a house, dating to approximately 1775, and later altered in the 20th century. It is likely to have been designed by Thomas Warr Atwood, who certainly developed the property. The front of the house is constructed of limestone ashlar, with rubble to the rear, and has a mansard roof covered in artificial slate, with two ashlar stacks rising from a coped party wall to the left. A staircase is located to the front.

The house has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, and features a three-window front. The first floor has three plate glass sashes set within splayed, ovolo moulded architraves with friezes and cornices, rising from lowered stone sills. The second floor has three similarly detailed plate glass sashes, with a small casement window to the right. On the ground floor, there are two plate glass sashes in splayed reveals with stone sills, and a six-panel door with flush beaded, fielded, and glazed panels, set within a stone doorcase. A small two-pane window is located to the right of the door. A single step leads to a pennant-paved crossover with a cast iron footscraper. The basement has two horned plate glass sashes in plain reveals with stone sills, a 20th-century plank screen with a door infilling under the crossover, and 20th-century area steps. A double dormer features plate glass horned sashes. Other external details include a band course over the ground floor, a modillion eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. The partially visible rear elevation has six/six sashes to the first and second floors, along with one double and one single dormer, both with plate glass sashes.

The interior remains uninspected. Attached to the property are wrought iron railings and a gate with shaped heads on limestone bases.

The houses were developed on Council land by Thomas Warr Atwood, who obtained the land in 1773. They represent a standard Palladian design of the 1770s, potentially attributed to Atwood, John Wood the Younger, or Thomas Jelly, though Atwood is the most probable designer. These are excellent examples of the English Palladian tradition applied to street architecture.

Subsidiary features include attached wrought iron railings and a gate with shaped heads on limestone bases.
