Numbers 17 And 19 And Attached Area Railings

A pair of semi-detached villas, now converted into flats, along with attached area railings, were built around 1820 to 1832, with later additions and alterations including a late 19th-century bay window on the right side. The villas are constructed with stucco over brick, featuring a hipped slate roof (with artificial slate on the left side), brick and stucco end and party walls with stacks, and reddish-brown brick walls with stone copings. They have iron railings, gates, and overthrow.

The exterior has two stories over a basement, with seven first-floor windows (arranged 5:2). The centre bay to the left is set back. Stucco detailing includes pilasters that run through the ground and first floors, with incised Greek key motifs at the ends and between the houses. Additional pilasters are present on the first floor above, flanking the central window of the left house, interrupting the first-floor band and frieze, except for the centre of the left house. Similar pilaster strips are found on the range to the far right. The windows are mostly 6/6 sash windows, with taller windows on the ground floor, except for a tripartite window on the far right which has 2/2 narrow sashes with margin-lights and decorative 'Gothic' glazing to the heads; several windows retain blind boxes.

The entrance to the centre of the left villa has a Doric porch with paired columns, an architrave, a frieze with triglyphs and metopes, a cornice, and a blocking course. The door is five-panelled with fluted lower panels, sidelights, and an overlight with margin-lights. The entrance to the right has a flight of roll-edged steps leading to an off-centre entrance, featuring a six-fielded-panel door with sidelights and a cambered overlight with batwing and circle glazing bars. Basement windows are 10/10 sashes. The rear of the buildings retains 6/6 sash windows, and the rear staircase of No. 19 has a round-arched sash window.

The interior retains original features, including plasterwork, a marble floor in the hall, and joinery with tooled architraves and cornices to the doors. A balcony on the rear of No. 19 has a scrolled lozenge motif, mirrored in the area railings. Park Place was developed by 1832, and the villas form a group with the adjacent walls, railings, gates, and lamp-overthrow to No. 19.
