Numbers 4 And 6 And Attached Railings With Wall To Left

A pair of semi-detached villas, numbers 4 and 6, were built around 1830-32. They are constructed of stucco over brick, with a hipped roof – slate on the right-hand side and cement tiles on the left – and a central brick stack. The properties have attached railings and a boundary wall to the left.

The villas are two storeys high with a basement, each featuring two first-floor windows. Entrance bays are set back on either end; the left-hand bay has an added upper floor. Stucco detailing includes a plinth, pilasters with sunken panels extending through the ground and first floors, which interrupt a tooled band on the first floor, and a frieze. The windows are mostly 6/6 sashes, with taller windows on the ground floor. Basement windows are a mix of 6/6 and 8/8 sashes. The entrances have roll-edged steps leading to a 6-panel door in a pilastered doorcase on the left and a 4-panel part-glazed door with a fanlight featuring an embellished circular motif on the right. The ramped wall to the left has a 2/2 sash window on its upper stage.

The porch on the right side has scrolled lyre motifs to the uprights, and the area railings feature scrolled lozenge motifs. Railings to the right of the steps are similar in style, while the boundary railings have arrowhead bars, dogbars, and urn finials. The interior of the properties has not been inspected.

The properties were built as part of Park Place, which was developed by 1832, and they form a group with numbers 8 and 10, and 12 and 14.
