house

Terraced two-bay single-storey house over basement, built c. 1850. M-profile pitched slate roof having clay ridge tiles partly concealed behind brown brick parapet having cut granite coping, and brown brick chimneystacks with some clay pots. Brown brick, laid in Flemish bond, to walls, having cut granite plinth course, and lined-and-ruled rendered wall to basement. Square-headed window openings with granite sills, rendered reveals and six-over-six pane, and eight-over-eight pane timber sliding sash windows. Elliptical-headed door opening with moulded render surround, panelled pilasters and moulded console brackets having acanthus leaf detail supporting stepped cornice. Teardrop fanlight and timber panelled door. Granite platform and steps, cast-iron railings with fleur-de-lis finials on rendered plinth wall having cut granite coping, and matching gate to basement area. Decorative tiles to path to front.

This house retains softly coloured brown brick, well-maintained windows and beautiful Greek revival doorcase and fanlight. The elegant architectural style lends a sense of unity and formality to the terrace. Heytesbury Street forms part of an early Victorian neighbourhood located to the west of Camden Street. Named after Baron Heytesbury, Viceroy 1844-6, the street was first laid out in 1846 and was nearing completion by 1861.
