Description
Terrace of sixteen double-pile two-bay single-storey houses, built c.1870, having two-storey blocks to rear. Pitched M-profile roofs with parapet to front (south) elevation with granite capping, decorative red brick sawtooth eaves course, and red brick chimneystacks having red brick cornices and clay chimneypots. Red brick walls laid in Flemish bond to front. Segmental-headed window openings having cut granite sills, two-over-two timber sash windows, and replacement uPVC windows. Round-headed door openings having plain fanlights, and timber cornice supported by profiled timber brackets surrounding timber panelled doors, some glazed. Front gardens enclosed by cast-iron railings on granite plinths, with matching pedestrian gates, some replacement metal railings.
Appraisal
This terrace retains its early form and character, and fabric including timber door surrounds, timber sash windows and cast-iron railings. The repetition of the same house type provides coherence to the streetscape. Front garden boundaries remain intact, maintaining the early suburban character of the group. The house type is characteristic of late nineteenth-century city middle-class housing. Edward Henry Carson may have been the architect responsible for the design, as he provided drawings for the developer of the Emorville Estate, Joseph Kelly, in 1868.
