An imposing terrace of 4 Victorian four-storey villas arranged as two symmetrical pairs, stuccoed at basement level. The two outer houses have plain bays at ground and basement level; the inner pair have rather striking flat fronted windows with pretty small triangular pediments at ground level creating a somewhat Parthenon-like effect.
Entrance is by paired raised porches with round arches and keystones surmounted by dentil cornices.
First floor windows are also in pairs, each having two single windows flanked by two paired wndows with columns, round arches, vermiculated keystones and decorated friezes. Attic windows have the same single/paired arrangement; simpler but very dignified.
The shallow pitched roof has superb chimney stack and pots in the centre of the group.

Victorian (1838-1901)

Terraced villas.

This group of houses is strikingly attractive and well-preserved. They form a fine example of the grander houses being built in the area shortly after Victoria Park was opened.
