Terrace of 10 houses in 5 pairs. Nos 1 and 2, and 5 to 8 break forward and the right hand end is slightly higher and therefore it is not symmetrical.

Forms part of a terrace of 10 houses, all of a mid C19 date, of a double depth plan, in stock brick with stuccoed ground floor and basements. The whole build is set back slightly from its eastern neighbour (No. 8) but flush with its western (No. 10) The door is on the western side of the façade with a single window to the east. The ground floor is raised from the street level and access to the front door is via a set of five concrete steps with and original C19th balustrade on its eastern side and a low wall to the west dividing the two properties. This wall continues to the front of the small garden area, with a gate pier at its northern end. There is a door located beneath these steps giving separate access to the basement level. There is a single window per floor, these align across all of the floors including the basement level. A stucco string course is located at ground floor cornice level and another is at the base of the first floor, forming a continuous sill for the first floor window which breaks forward beneath the window and is supported by two small brackets. The lower of these two sting courses is on small stucco brackets, four in total, one on either side of the door and another on the western side of the ground floor window. There is also a moulded cornice over the door. The render on the ground floor and basement level and the plasterwork detail is badly chipped, cracked and discoloured, particularly in the area above the ground floor window. The first and second floor windows have flat gauged brick arches over and the second and ground floor windows have projecting sills, the ground floor sill has two small stucco brackets beneath. There is a brick parapet over the second floor level with cement coping. A possibly original metal gutter down pipe is located on the eastern side of the property, within the angle created by the projecting eastern neighbour. This down pipe is badly rusted particularly at its upper level. There is a low brick wall with iron railing above and stuccoed gate pier in front of the property, separating it from the street. The rear elevation is in flint with coursed brick dressings is was not clearly seen. There are a number of areas of weathering/damage to this façade but otherwise it appears to be structurally sound and in a fair condition.

There are four windows located across the façade, all are original 16-pane sashes, (four high by four wide) apart from the basement level window which only 12 panes and not as tall (four wide by three high). The door is located on the western side of the façade, it is likely original. It is in timber with three panels, the upper which consists of a large single glazed pane in a frosted glass. The paintwork on this door has been stripped away leaving exposed un-treated timber which looks untidy. The basement level door was not clearly seen. There is a rectangular overlight in an opaque glass above the transom over the ground floor door, the pain on the frame of this overlight has also been stripped leaving the untreated timber exposed. The paintwork on the window frames is white, it is chipped and discoloured in places, despite this all the pains are present and overall the windows are in a good – fair condition.

The roof level was not clearly seen as it is located behind a brick parapet. It is gabled with the gable ends over each of the party walls. It is in a Welsh slate with a brick axial stack located over the eastern party wall. There is a large aerial attached to this stack. (1)
