What is recorded here
Terrace of three three-bay two-storey over basement houses, built c.1830, having dormer attics. Three-storey elevations to south. Flat-roofed projections to two houses with porch added to western house. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods on overhanging eaves. Flat roofs to dormer windows. Smooth rendered walls with square-headed recesses to projections. Iron balcony to first floor south elevation of centre house. Square-headed window openings with stone sills and nine-over-six (ground floor) and six-over-six (first floor) timber sash windows. Round-headed window openings to projections with fixed light timber windows. Square-headed door openings with timber panelled doors. Opening to west house flanked by moulded render pilasters. Replacement door to east house. Street-fronted. Basement area bounded by wrought-iron railings with spear heads and pine cone finials. Set on a steep slope overlooking the River Lee to garden (south) elevation.
These three houses form part of a fine early nineteenth century terrace of five, which is full of interesting architectural details. They form part of a group with the flanking houses which were built in the nineteenth century to accommodate the growing middle class. The survival of most of the original fenestration is notable, while the high-quality ironwork contributes to both the setting of the houses and to the streetscape.
