Terrace of town houses, with attached front garden walls; now offices, surgeries, etc. c.1847-51, by George Mould; altered. Coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings (rear of brick), and slate roof. Double-depth plan, each house single-fronted (except the 2 at the left end which are double-fronted), with individual back extensions. Two storeys over cellars, with attics; a symmetrical 48-bay range, with a 8-bay centre and 4-bay ends which break forwards and have attic storeys; with quoins, plinth, 1st-floor sill-band, and plain fieze and moulded cornice carried across as a sill-band to the attic storeys of the centre and ends, which have similar cornices with parapets, that in the centre with an upstand panel lettered "STEPHENSON TERRACE". All the doorways have porches with Tuscan columns and pilasters, and entablatures with blocking courses, those in the southern half mounted on steps, and altered doors with overlights; but No.102 has the doorway in the left return wall, with an architrave of Tuscan columns in antis. The windows of the upper floors are regular with moulded architraves (most of those in the southern half sashed and most of those to the north altered), and those in the attic storeys of the centre and ends very low, with 6-pane sashes; at ground floor Nos 74 and 78 have rectangular bays; Nos 68, 76 and 80, and all those north of the centre (i.e. 86 to 102) have canted bays. Roof with some skylights to the 2-storey ranges, and stone chimneys on the ridge. Front gardens enclosed by attached ramped walls of the same material, with rounded coping. Rear: narrow 2-storey back extensions and very narrow yards with high back wall. INTERIOR: the few inspected have 2-room cellars, and servants' stairs to attics disguised as cupboards.
