“Tennis Court Terrace contains a terrace of houses which, together with Nos. 4-12 Tennis Court Road, form part of a planned enclave of residential development all built in 1825 by Charles Humfrey, developer and Mayor of Cambridge ... The terraced houses share characteristics of Humfrey’s other developments in Cambridge, which mainly represented formally-planned suburban areas, expanding the city beyond the medieval core and providing houses for artisans or college servants and the emerging middle classes. Distinctive positive features include the use of Gault brick throughout, which creates a strong sense of unity as well as being the material most used by Humfrey” (Cambridge Historic Core Appraisal).
