Railings have cast-iron detailing to spike finials. Intermittent cast-iron rail posts having a foliate enriched pear shaped base. Limestone piers with four-faced arch capping stones support original pedestrian gate or vehicular gate.

Appraisal
These boundary railings are original to this once distinct terrace os seven houses, which is set back from the streetscape. The boundary walls and railings enhnace the homogenised treatment of the terrace.
