Numbers 52 To 64 And Attached Forecourt Walls And Railings

This is a planned terrace of houses, likely dating from the very early 19th century, with some 20th-century alterations. The buildings are constructed of stucco and render, with dry slate or asbestos slate roofs. Number 56 has a later mansard roof, while the others have hipped dormers. Deep-plan brick end stacks are also present. The design includes a double-depth plan with service wings at the rear.

The exterior presents three storeys plus an attic over a basement. Each house typically features a three-window front, though number 58 has a tripartite sash window with pilasters and a cornice to the first floor. Number 62 (the second from the left) retains original hornless sashes with glazing bars, while the remaining windows appear to be later replacements with horns. Numbers 54, 56, and 62 have pilastered doorways with open pediments and fluted friezes; number 58 has pilasters, an entablature, and a large overlight. All have panelled reveals and doors. The left-hand return of number 64 features a two-storey, three-bay timber and glass porch, built on a Plymouth limestone plinth with masonry brought to course. This porch incorporates Ionic pilasters and a central pediment to the ground floor, panelled pilasters above, panelled aprons, and a moulded entablature. It also has transomed two-light windows.

The interior was not inspected, but may contain original features of interest.

Subsidiary features include low plinths on the basement walls, surmounted by wrought-iron railings with urn finials. The terrace is part of a planned late Georgian street layout that dates back to 1773. Numbers 52 and 56 to 64 were originally listed on May 1, 1975.
