Description

This is a terrace of six houses, now seven dwellings, built around 1840-1850 for the Webb family, with the house on the left originally intended for their own occupation. The buildings are constructed with ashlar facades, slate roofs, and brick stacks, and feature iron balconies.

The terrace has two storeys and thirteen first-floor windows (two per house, except for No. 60, which has three). Service ranges are located at the rear. The house on the left is wider and now divided into two dwellings. The entrance bays alternate in width, with recessed bays. The stucco decoration includes horizontal rustication on the ground floor, a wide band at first-floor level, along with a crowning frieze and cornice. The windows in the narrower bays have 6/6 sashes on the first floor; elsewhere, windows are tripartite, consisting of 6/6 sashes flanked by 2/2 sashes (with the leftmost window having a 2/2 horizontal-pane window between 2/2 sashes). All windows are in plain reveals with sills, and the ground-floor windows have projecting feet; first-floor windows have aprons. Most entrances to the narrower bays feature 4-panel double doors with overlights containing glazing bars. The entrance to the left has an elaborate architrave with Doric pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice, leading to a part-glazed door with margin lights and a panelled door. A right return features two first-floor windows, followed by a blind bay, and then an 8/8 sash window. The service ranges have 6/6 sash windows.

Internally, the buildings retain original plasterwork and joinery, including panelled shutters to the windows, as well as marble fireplaces. First-floor balconies on the tripartite windows are decorated with a honeycomb motif and anthemion acroteria. The terrace is shown on a map from 1845. It is of a similar design to numbers 32, 34, and 36, and 72-80 (even), on Andover Road.
