The walls, railings, and steps at the front of Hope Terrace date from the early 19th century. They feature a Flemish bond wall with a slightly stepped top, a cream plinth, and brick capping. The base of the wall ramps steeply uphill to the right. There are eight brick piers topped with pyramidal moulded stone caps. To the left, there is a tall pair of piers with twelve steps leading up; the center has a less tall pair with two steps to a landing and five steps on each side; and the lower right pair has five steps. The structure includes ramped rubble return walls with stone coping leading to Hope Terrace.
