Architectural descriptions draw on LPC’s 1968 designation report. Current condition, legal occupancy and alteration approvals require an address-specific review. These profiles are historical research, not listings.
What LPC recorded
LPC described six brick houses, built by Root and Rust in the 1870s, with a simplified Italianate treatment. The report recorded three stories over basements on narrow, approximately 16-foot lots. Plain lintels and sills give the row a more restrained character than the stone-fronted groups.
Read the details
The reported lot width is historical context. A buyer still needs an address-specific survey and measured plans; lot width is not the same as usable interior width.
Within a repeated row, circulation can matter as much as façade character. Stairs, room proportions and access to outdoor space should be considered through a current walkthrough and drawings.
Questions to take to the showing
- What do a survey and measured plans show about dimensions, lot lines and existing extensions?
- How does the stair and room arrangement fit the intended use without assuming walls can be moved?
- What repair scope is indicated at brickwork, lintels, cornices and roof drainage?
These questions are a research starting point, not findings of a defect or assurance about the property. For the full sequence—from lawful use to insurance—see the buyer’s guide.
