A well maintained terrace retaining most of its original form and character. The projecting bays and gables break up and enliven the plan, façade, and roofline, in the style which was fashionable in contemporary Victorian architecture. Distinctive features including terracotta dressings, carved timber bargeboards, stained glass windows, and fine wrought-iron railings, add to much to its historic character.
