Includes: No.2 The Famous Firkin Public House ADELAIDE PLACE Stonehouse.
Planned terrace of small houses, one of which is a public house. Mid C19 to designs by John Foulston. Stucco with stucco detail; dry slate or asbestos slate roofs behind stuccoed parapet, most with moulded cornice, and the end houses with altered pediments; brick end stacks.

Double-depth plan, each house with one room at the front and its entrance to one side. Two storeys, each house a two-window range except the end houses, each of which is a one-window range. Original twelve-pane hornless sashes to Nos. 52-53, otherwise later horned sashes or late C20 windows. Ground floor window openings are round-arched within recessed round-arched panels, except for end houses with two-storey panels. Pilastered doorways have moulded entablature; panelled doors where original.

INTERIOR: not inspected but likely to retain original features of interest.

A rare survival of a planned group by Foulston, in a simpler version of his work around the Hooe.
