Terraced houses. Mid-C19. Stucco, roofs of slate and tile

EXTERIOR: Nos 1-6 of 3 storeys over basement with dormers, the
rest 4 storeys; 3-window range except No.1 which is of
2-window range and No.8 which is of 5-window range and
double-fronted. Nos 7-9 form a centrepiece, though not
strictly central; the houses to either side are grouped in
pairs. It is simplest to describe Nos 7-9 first: flat-arched
porches flanked by pilasters with entablature, the pilaster
details on No.8 now lost; recessed entrance with overlight,
No.9 having double doors of original design with C19 engraved
glass inserted; the ground floor has triple round-arched
windows with sill brackets; panelled pilasters and archivolt;
storey band and sill band with blank balustrading between;
first-floor windows generally round-arched with architraves,
those to inner windows of Nos 7 and 9 having panelled
pilasters and archivolts and slim columns as mullions; No.8
has a tall, central, round-arched 2-light window with
round-arched glazing bars and Vitruvian scroll to spandrel;
moulded storey band running over this window as an archivolt;
second- and third-floor windows generally flat-arched with
moulded stucco architraves; bracketed cornice and blocking
course in part; stacks to party walls.
Nos 1-6 and 10-13: paired flat-arched porches with pilasters
and entablature, except No.13 which has a round-arched porch
with elaborate moulded archivolt and vermiculated keystone;
recessed entrance with overlight, No.10 having double doors of
original design. Ground-floor windows flat-arched with
consoles to sills and moulded stucco architraves; Nos 3 and 5
have cast-iron window-guards; storey band; first-floor windows
round-arched over entrance with bracketed sill and moulded
stucco architrave, the other 2 flat-arched with sill stepped
forward in centre and moulded stucco architrave; sill band
with Vitruvian scroll to second-floor windows which are
flat-arched with moulded stucco architrave, except that the 2
inner windows of Nos 2-6 are segmental-arched; third-floor
windows to Nos 10-13 flat-arched with moulded stucco
architrave; quoins where these houses project forward from the
entrance bay; dentil to astragal lost in places; modillion
cornice. Nos 1-6 have dormers in mansard roof. No.1 has a
return in Temple Gardens with 2-storey wing, originally
presumably for a porch, with quoins to first floor, modillion
cornice and hipped roof; the rest of the elevation continues
the detailing of the Norfolk Terrace front.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
Balustrades to steps and area with vase balusters, to all
except No.1 and area of Nos 2 and 3.
