Numbers 8 and 9 and Attached Front Area Railings

Numbers 8 and 9 Unity Street are a pair of attached houses, now used as offices, dating from the mid-18th century. They are built of stucco with limestone dressings, incorporating a brick party wall stack and a pantile roof, hipped to the left. The buildings have a double-depth plan and are constructed in a mid-Georgian style, arranged over three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a three-window front. The facade is a stepped continuation of a terrace, featuring rusticated pilaster strips to a moulded, ramped coping. Doorways on either side of the central party wall have moulded frames and early 19th century bracketed pediments above, with rectangular fanlights containing glazing bars and six-panel doors. The windows are 6/6-pane sashes in exposed frames, and there are two hipped dormers.

The interior includes brick tunnel-vaulted cellars. The remainder of the interior was not inspected, but is noted to contain panelled rooms, a dogleg staircase with column-on-vase balusters, and cornices. Attached wrought-iron railings are present at the doorway of number 8. The buildings represent a later continuation of numbers 1 and 3 to 7.
