The mirror-plan villas are entered towards the centre. EXTERIOR: Largely intact. 3-storey wings (ground floor is actually half-basement of No.14); 2 storeys in the centre. Symmetrical 3:3:3-bay front. Deep eaves; wings have left and right pilaster strips; platband at 2nd-floor sill level. The centre block is recessed with a shallow pedimented gable. 3-bay Doric arcade across front forming a breccia-paved verandah with round-headed arches carried on paired columns. Red breccia steps up to the left and right front doors. Centre bay with a tripartite sash window, 16-pane in the centre flanked by 2-pane sashes. 6-panel front doors, the lower panels with fluted mouldings; overlights with diamond leaded panes. 2 first-floor 12-pane sashes. The wings have recessed central 6-panel doors to the ground floor (No.12) and half basement (No.14) with overlights. 2 windows to each floor, mostly 12-pane C19 sashes with some reglazing in original embrasures on the ground floor. The right return of the left-hand wing has a round-headed 2-light window with spoke glazing bars; the left return has access to the first floor via a French window with glazing bars and deep overlight and a 2nd floor 12-pane sash. Rear elevation not seen on survey. Spearhead railings to half-basement of No.14. INTERIOR: Not inspected but may retain features of interest. This building is a pair with Nos 2 and 4 (qv) and is a particularly accomplished and self-conscious design in the classical villa tradition.
