Nos. 1-3 have doors to the left, Nos. 4-13 have doors to the right. The central house, No.7, has a bracketed cornice to a flat parapet and segmental arches to two windows to each floor. A door to the right has glazed panels, an overlight and a dentil cornice to a hood on brackets. Nos. 1, 6, 8 and 13 (terminals and flanking the centre) have segmental curved parapets; sill bands to two flat-arched second floor windows; and a similar doorcase to No.7.

The four houses to each side of the centre, Nos. 2-5 and 9-12, have triangular parapets with a carved B in circular panels to the tympana, segmental arches to one second floor window and overlights to the doors in architraves similar but lower than the ground floor windows.

SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: Square gate piers and dwarf walls; railings have been replaced.

Listed as a particularly elaborate High Victorian terrace, fusing the Georgian tradition with the contemporary taste for decoration and variety. Unlike its southern neighbour Belgrave Place, the terrace is carefully articulated with a strong symmetrical rhythm: the three-house centre being flanked with matching five-house wings.
