Round-headed openings to porch, having bull-nosed red brick reveals, cut granite keystones, and some uPVC doors.

Appraisal
This terrace retains much of its early form and character, and fabric including cast-iron railings, timber doorcases and timber sash windows. The repetition of the same house type gives a pleasing coherence to the streetscape. Subtle brick decoration adds interest to the front elevations. Front garden boundaries remain largely intact, maintaining the early suburban character of the streetscape. The South Circular Road was laid out in the late eighteenth century to relieve congestion to the city centre and improve access. This portion was not fully developed until a century later when large tracts of land became available following the sale of the Greenville demesne in the 1870s.
