Numbers 1 To 14 And Attached Forecourt Walls And Railings

Numbers 1 to 14 comprise two pairs of houses built around 1829 as part of a planned street development, attributed to Foulston. The houses are constructed of stucco over probable rubble, with asbestos slate roofs behind a moulded cornice and recessed centre panels. Attic dormers are present, and the end stacks have old clay pots.

The houses are arranged with a double-depth plan and rear service wings. The exterior presents a symmetrical four-window front to each pair, with the centre bays broken forward. Stucco detailing includes channelled rustication to the ground floor of numbers 2 and 3, recessed segmental-arched panels above ground-floor openings, and moulded architraves to the first floor of numbers 2 and 3. Some original details remain, including a Greek key pattern to the parapet frieze of number 2 and a sill string to all windows. Number 3 retains original hornless sashes, though the first-floor sash now has horizontal glazing bars removed and the ground floor sash originally featured wide margin panes. These are the only original windows above basement level in the street's front elevation. The remaining windows are later horned sashes and 20th-century replacements. The houses retain their original pilastered wooden porches, each with a squat segmental pediment over an entablature with a key pattern frieze. Number 2 has a 20th-century copy four-panel door with glazed upper panels, while the others have late 20th-century doors.

The interior was not inspected but may contain original features. Original wrought-iron forecourt walls and railings, featuring arrowhead and urn finials to the stanchions, cross the entrance bridges and extend down to the basement. Despite damage during the Blitz, the street remains a good example of early 19th-century terraced house design and a notable element of a planned group located on the Hoe.
