Numbers 1 To 15 And Attached Walls And Piers

Numbers 1 to 15 and attached walls and piers form a terrace of fifteen houses built between 1840 and 1843 by Foster and Okely. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar, with party wall stacks and a slate and pantile mansard roof. They are built on a double-depth plan and are of Neoclassical style.

Each house is three storeys high with an attic and basement, featuring a two-window range. The terrace is regularly stepped, with a rusticated ground floor. Each house has separate pilasters rising to a frieze, cornice, and parapet. The left-hand doorways have battered recessed surrounds, plate-glass overlights, and eight-panel doors with roundels. Ground-floor windows are tripartite and have recessed surrounds; later bays are present at numbers 2, 3, 5 and 7-9, as well as two later windows at number 1. The windows are predominantly 6/6-pane sashes, with dormers above.

Good first-floor balconies are present, featuring cast-iron brackets, oval railings, flat stanchions with round panels, and shallow pedimented roofs with a central acroterion. The interior features an entrance hall with a dogleg stair and panelled shutters.

Associated features include attached front garden walls and rusticated piers. The design emphasizes the individuality of each house within the overall terrace.
