GV II

Pair of small town houses. c.1840, altered. Red brick in
Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and slate roof.
Double-depth plan, each house single-fronted, with separate
back extensions and central through-lobby. Two storeys over
cellars, a 4-window range, with 1st-floor sill-band, plain
frieze and moulded gutter cornice. The doorways, to the left
and right respectively, both up one nosed step, are
elliptical-arched with gauged brick voussoirs and have set-in
square-headed doorcases with hollow-moulded surrounds,
cornices, and semi-elliptical fanlights (doors and fanlights
altered); the lobby doorway in the centre has a chamfered
surround and board door. Each has one window at ground floor
and 2 above, those at No.18 sashed without glazing bars (those
at No.17 with altered glazing), all with raised sills and
wedge lintels; cellar windows with wedge lintels, No.18 a
casement protected by grating (No.17 blocked). Chimney stacks
on both slopes at the junction. Rear: long back extensions;
back yard of No.18 with paved-over former well.
INTERIOR: No.18 has dog-legged staircase with stick balusters
and mahogany handrail, and 2-room cellar with hob-grate
fireplaces in both rooms. Forms part of an almost complete set
of late Georgian lower-middle class houses in this street.
