Description

This is a two-storey terrace of eight houses, numbered 2 to 8, built in the 18th century. Number 1 is a later addition. Nos 2 to 7 are stucco-faced and characterized by pilaster strips, while No 1 is constructed from exposed grey-brown stone with bathstone dressings. The roofs are slate, although Nos 2 and 7 have modern tile coverings. Flat-roofed dormers are present on Nos 3, 4, 5, and 8. A parapet, pierced to form a balustrade over the entrances, sits above a bracketed cornice. The chimneys are rectangular and made of yellow brick.

Nos 2 to 7 are arranged as three mirrored pairs of four-window houses; the doors are grouped centrally and slightly recessed. The ground floor features mainly original panelled doors with inserted glazing, each set back in a recessed porch with a dentil cornice and columns. Above the doors are rectangular overlights. To either side of the doors are flat-roofed, splayed bays. The first floors have narrow sash windows in the centre, and broader sash windows to the left and right (with marginal glazing on Nos 4 to 7).

No 8 is a larger, double-fronted house in the same style, but with modern glazing. No 1, the stone addition, has a tripartite hornless sash window to the left and a hornless sash window to the right on its first floor. The ground floor entrance doorway, on the right-hand side, is framed by a pedimented stone doorcase and rectangular overlight. A splayed bay is positioned to the left. To the right, facing Belgrave Lane, is a large 12-pane hornless sash window. There are two small windows at eaves level, and 16-pane hornless sash windows to both the first and ground floors. A doorway marks the end of an extension with a monopitch roof.
