Terrace, originally of 10 houses (old list description), now
mostly used as offices, restaurants etc. Probably 1840s, when
Taw Vale was developed. Smooth-plastered mass wall
construction; natural slate roofs; stacks with rendered shafts
with some old pots.
Centre 4 houses 3-storey, flanked by 3-storey-and-attic houses
with lower rooflines and basements. Symmetrical 7:8:7-window
range. Centre block has moulded eaves brackets and an eaves
band; outer houses have cornices below parapets and mansard
roofs. Ground floor with channelled rustication with moulded
string at first-floor level. Round-headed doorways to outer
blocks and round-headed windows, mostly glazed with plate
glass sashes. First-floor windows have moulded architraves,
some retaining probably original 12-pane sashes, some reglazed
with later timber sashes.
The middle block is more ornate with an anthemion balcony on
iron brackets to the first floor and high-transomed French
windows with cornices on consoles; second floor 12-pane
sashes. The right-hand house of the right-hand block has a
c1860s' cast-iron balcony.

This terrace makes an important contribution to a fine group
of C19 town houses on Taw Vale Parade.
