Description
Numbers 4 to 7 are a terrace of four houses that are now part of a hotel and offices. The left-hand house dates from around 1759, while the right-hand three houses were built around 1760, possibly by George Tully. They were converted around 1990. The buildings are constructed of brick with limestone dressings, featuring a pantile hipped roof on the left and a slate mansard roof on the right, which is hipped at the end. They have a double-depth plan and are designed in a mid-Georgian style, each standing three storeys high with a basement and a two-window range.
The terrace is linked by a continuous moulded coping. The left-hand house has rusticated quoins and strings, while the right-hand three have pilaster strips. The earlier left-hand house features a doorway with a segmental-arched architrave, moulded brackets supporting a segmental pediment, a plate-glass overlight, and a six-panel door. It also has segmental rubbed brick arches with moulded architraves above six-over-nine pane sash windows. The right-hand three houses have left-hand doorways with bracketed pediments and architraves, plate-glass overlights, and six-panel doors, along with segmental-arched heads with five stepped voussoirs above six-over-six pane horned sash windows. The right-hand return is a symmetrical three-window range with a doorway similar to the front.
The interior has not been inspected but is reported to have been completely altered around 1990. The terrace also features attached front area walls and spear-headed railings as subsidiary features.
