Description
This is a terrace of seven houses built around 1815 on a sloping site. The front is constructed of limestone ashlar, while the rear is of rubble stone. The houses have double-pitched slate roofs to the front and concrete tile roofs to the rear, with moulded stacks on the party walls. They are double-depth plan.
The houses are three storeys high, with lower ground floor levels to the rear, and each has a two-window front. Number 1, on the right-hand side, features a two-storey entrance lobby with a single window. The facade has a low parapet, a cornice, a moulded band at the second floor level, and banded rustication to the ground floor with incised voussoirs reaching the sill band of the first floor. The windows are late 19th-century, horned plate glass sash windows. Number 6 has six-pane sashes on the second and ground floors and six-over-nine-pane sashes on the first floor, with some original crown glass. Number 7 has a door to the left, while the other houses have their main entrances to the right. The doors have overlights, two panels at the base, and a diagonally-set square at the top with a central knocker. The rear of the houses features some large eight-over-eight-pane sash windows and small balconettes. The interiors have not been inspected.
The site was undeveloped on plans from 1793 and 1810 and is part of the late Georgian development along London Road, built in a style similar to that of John Pinch. Original area railings are also a notable feature.
