Description
This is a terrace of six houses, Numbers 5 to 10, built in 1763 in the Late Georgian style. The houses are rendered with limestone dressings, have tall brick party wall stacks, and hipped pantile roofs. They are designed with a double-depth plan, and each house is two storeys high with a basement and attic, arranged in a two-window range. The frontages feature moulded parapet coping, and the right-hand doors have thin brackets to a canopy. The doors are six-panelled, with rectangular overlights containing three pointed lights. The windows are mostly 6/6-pane sash windows with plate glass, and there is a single dormer window to each house. The front area steps down to the basement. A canted bay opens to the rear.
Inside Number 8, the hall is divided by a semicircular arch, and a central dogleg staircase features a toadback rail and column balusters. A small room is positioned between the staircase and the party wall, with a separate passage connecting the front basement door to the rear. The house has marble and cast-iron fireplaces, and panelled shutters.
The property also includes wrought-iron area railings with spear-headed details. This is an uncommon terrace of 18th-century artisan houses, notable for having a through-passage extending from the front basement door to the rear of the building.
