GV II

Semi-detached houses. 1848-50. Developed by James Goodbody and James Wagstaffe and probably designed by James Wagstaffe. Yellow brick set in Flemish bond, stucco, roof of slate. Three storeys over basement, three-window range, the fronts to Highbury Crescent set back twice. Basement and ground floor stuccoed. Steps up to porch in outer bay with Greek Doric columns, entablature and, in the case of no 12, balustrade above; doorcase has cornice and overlight. The innermost bay has a shallow bow window of three lights to basement and ground floor, with balustrade above; second bay has flat-arched window with moulded stucco architrave. First-floor windows are flat-arched with moulded stucco architrave and cornice and consoles to two inner bays, the innermost tripartite, and round-arched with moulded stucco architrave to outer bay. Both the outer bays have been raised beyond their original height; that to no 12 retains its original cornice. Third-floor windows to two inner bays are round-arched with moulded stucco architraves, grouped in threes to inner bays and twos to second bays; bracketed and boxed eaves; hipped roof with stacks to party walls and between second and outer bays.
