Numbers 3 And 5 And Attached Railings

Numbers 3 and 5 are a pair of attached terraced houses dating to around 1820 to 1850. They are constructed with stucco over brick, and have concealed roof and stucco party-wall stacks. The houses are arranged with a double-depth plan.

The exterior has two storeys over a basement, with attic dormers, and a further range to the left with an attic storey. There are seven first-floor windows (three to the left house), arranged in a 1:4:2 pattern. A four-window range projects forward. The outer window bays break forward and feature full-height Doric pilasters and an entablature (the cornice is missing from the right side), a blocking course, and copings. A first-floor band and a cornice tops the first floor to the right-hand portion. Ground-floor windows have tooled architraves; four of the ground-floor windows to the main range have cornices on console brackets. First-floor windows to the main range and on the right have tooled architraves. The windows are mainly 6/6 and 2/2 horizontal-pane sashes, with taller ground-floor windows. Those to the right have margin-lights, and those above the entrances are set between pilaster strips. The window to the right retains a frieze and cornice. The entrances have five-panel doors (upper panels raised and fielded, lower panels with fluted surrounds) with sidelights and fanlights; the door to the left retains radial glazing bars. The doors are within doorcases with fluted Ionic columns, a frieze, and a cornice, while the doorcase on the right has a pediment. The rear of the property features two round-arched staircase windows.

The interior retains original joinery including panelled shutters, and the dogleg staircases have stick balusters and wreathed handrails. The interior was otherwise not inspected.

Attached to the property are scrolled bootscrapers to the top steps and railings to the sides of the steps, these feature stick balusters with scrolled hearts at the left-hand side.
