LISTED GRADE 2 The buildings were recorded in 2013 by The Archaeological Practice ahead of rennovation as student accomodation. The report concluded that the buildings were a good survival of an early Victorian terrace. The buildings have dog-leg stairs with stick balusters and moulded handrails and originally curtail steps. Modern doorways have been knocked through party walls giving continuous access between No. 6 and No. 14 and similarly linking 16-18 and 20-22. No.4 has an inner door from its entrance lobby with an Art Deco overlight. Many buildings include cornices. Other features across the whole terrace include shutters, ceiling roses and dado rails.
