Numbers 72 To 80 And Attached Railings To Number 72

Numbers 72 to 80, along with the attached railings to number 72, form a terrace of five houses built around 1840 to 1850 for the Webb family. The houses were constructed in brick with plastered facades, covered by slate roofs and feature brick and stucco chimney stacks. Iron railings and balconies are also present.

The two-storey houses have a basement level and a total of ten first-floor windows (two per house). The entrance bays alternate in width with some being recessed. Architectural details include horizontal rustication on the ground floor, a continuous platband on the first floor, a moulded first-floor sill band, a frieze, and a low coped parapet. The windows are a mix of 6/6 sashes and tripartite windows with 6/6 sashes between 2/2 sashes. Some windows have 2/2 sashes and 2/2 horizontal-pane sashes. The ground-floor windows have sills on feet, while basement windows are 4/8 sashes where original. The left-hand entrances to the narrower bays have 4-panel doors with overlights containing glazing bars. The left return features blind openings and a crow-stepped gable end. The rear of the houses retain original 6/6 sashes.

The interiors retain original joinery, plasterwork, and fireplaces with dogleg staircases featuring alternate stick and embellished balusters and wreathed handrails. Tripartite first-floor windows have honeycomb and stick balusters, though these are missing from number 80. Arrowhead boundary railings to the left have anthemion finials on the stanchions and a curved gate. These were shown on a map of 1845. The design is similar to numbers 32, 34, and 36, 60A and B, and 62 to 70 Andover Road.
