Terrace of eight houses on a site that slopes up slightly from No.1 to the left. c1790. By Thomas Baldwin, a part of the Bathwick Estate scheme.
MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar, double pitched slate mansard roofs with dormers and stacks to some party walls.
PLAN: Double depth.
EXTERIOR: Three storeys; each house is one window wide. Coped parapet, lintel frieze, second floor sill course, ground floor cornice and plinth, swept up from Nos. 1 and 3. Plate glass tripartite sash windows; those to the first floor, with raised surrounds rising from the ground floor cornice, are spanned by pediments on four consoles, those flanking the central sashes have double festoons to the friezes. Semicircular arches over fanlights to six panel doors, and three rusticated courses below the ground floor sills. No.1 has a lowered first floor sill and a cobweb fanlight to a six panel door to the left. No.2 has lowered sills and a trellised balconette to the first floor and a plain fanlight to a six panel door to the right. No.3 has lowered sills to the first floor and a plain fanlight to a six panel door to the left. Nos. 4 and 5, a symmetrical pair, retain original first floor sills and have plain fanlights to paired six panel doors. Nos. 6 and 7 are similar to Nos. 4 and 5, though No.7 has a low first floor balconette with a lyre to the centre and a C20 door. No. 8 is similar to No. 6 with a blocked door to the right. The three window right return has been rebuilt, a late C19 enclosed porch to the centre has a returned coped parapet and cornice and a bolection-moulded six panel door.
