Terraced houses. Early C19. Yellow brick set in Flemish bond,
stucco, roofs obscured by parapet. Three and four storeys over
basement, two windows each except no 53 which has four
windows. The terrace was presumably originally symmetrical,
nos 41-5 and the inner bays of nos 39 and 47 being set forward
under a pediment, but there are now seven houses to the left
of the centrepiece and three to the right. All openings
flat-arched with heads of gauged brick. Entrance has engaged
Greek Doric columns, cornice, overlight with original glazing
and panelled door of original design; first-floor windows have
piano nobile proporitons and balconies with cast-iron
railings; the centrepiece is four storeys high, with four
giant Ionic pilasters to the upper floors supporting
entablature and pediment; windows are 6/6 sashes with 3/3
sashes to second floor to centre; the other houses have dentil
brickwork to the parapet; stacks to party walls.
