New Walk Terrace, 12a-18, form a terrace of eight superior dwellings with fairly spacious rooms, built c.1825. The houses are of three stories with semi basements set behind long front gardens with smaller yards behind, with coach houses reached by an accomodation road at the back. No 12a now comprises two houses from which the top storey has been removed and which have been much altered. No 18, the end house nearest the river, has its entrances in a symetrically designed side elevation. The entrance doorways mostly have fluted side pilasters with palmette leaf capitals and rectangular fanlights with geometrical glazing patterns; that to No 17 has fluted Roman roric attached columns. The basements and ground floors have shallow segmental bow windows, those to the ground floor with recessed brick panels beneath. The windows of the upper floors have flat arches of gauged bricks.
