Numbers 27-57 And Attached Front Area Railings And Garden Walls, Piers And Railings

A terrace of sixteen houses built around 1840. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar, with ashlar chimney stacks and a slate and pantile mansard roof. They are arranged with a double-depth plan and are in a Neoclassical style. Each house has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a single-window frontage. The terrace is irregularly stepped and features a banded ground floor, a plat band, upper pilasters to a frieze, a cornice, and a parapet. Doorways are on the left-hand side of each property, except for No.55 which has a door on the right-hand side, and No.57 which includes a single-storey side porch with margin-paned overlights and a six-panel door. Ground-floor windows have recessed sides, while upper windows have architraves and first-floor cornices. Windows are generally 6/6-pane and 3/3-pane sash windows, with casements to the dormers. First-floor balconies are constructed of slate with cast-iron railings, and smaller wrought-iron railings are fitted to the ground-floor windows. Late 19th-century canted two-storey bays have been added to numbers 28, 53, and 57. The interiors feature entrance halls with semicircular arches leading to dogleg staircases with turned balusters and wreathed handrails, six-panel doors, and panelled shutters. Attached features include spear-headed cast-iron railings to basement areas and steps, along with walls, capped piers, and railings to the front gardens.
