          Description
              Edwardian planned terrace. Timber panelled doors, carved door canopies and sash windows. All white painted. Highest quality craftsmanship. Unique to this area. Ornate detailing in sandstone or terracotta. Two storeys with attic dormers. Heavily decorated and remarkable in their grandiosity. Classical Baroque-style timberwork. Doors are framed by brick panels with curved fluted brackets above terracotta tiles and pedimented porches. Windows are double height bays with slender sliding sashes and highly decorated stained glass transom windows to the top. Timber and tile hung dormers are original features of the terrace, with a finial on top like those on the porches. Original dormer windows are small sliding sashes, often leaded. There are terracotta swag friezes beneath the eaves.
