Cleveland Road was built as a new through road from Preston Road by 1899. North of the road were large villas Campville, Cleveland House and Cleveland Villa. Housing south of Cleveland Road, terraces with a strong townscape edge, was completed by the end of the Edwardian period (1910). Some of the large houses have been converted into flats. The villas and large gardens to the north of the road were cleared (although some boundary walls and trees survive). The land was developed with Cleveland Crescent, Cleveland Terrace and Cleveland Avenue - semis with side access and deeper gardens and short terraces (without back lanes but with front, side and back gardens) built over the next 20 years. An adult training centre was built on the site on Cleveland Villa. Nos. 1-9 are raised on half-sunken basements, requiring grand steps to the front door. Nos. 35 and 73 are corner buildings with quoins. Nos. 24, 26 and 40 have timber porches. Nos. 24-26 have bay windows with two-storey angled timber bays beneath half timbered gables and dramatic full-height octagonal corner tower bays (porch at ground floor) with heavy cupola roofs. The eaves at the west end of Cleveland Road have a deep overhang supported on tightly spaced concave timber brackets. Later ones are infilled between with stucco to create a swept half-timbered motif. There is a subtle difference between the roofs to Nos. 42-44 and 46-48. Nos. 46-48 is slightly newer. The roofs of nos. 24-26 have bracketed eaves, swept turrets, shaped bargeboards, moulded finials and decorative ridges. Houses at the west end were designed with a small dormer window to the front with a pitched roof and glazed cheeks. Nos. 24-26 have large square rainwater hoppers with square-section downcomers as part of their elaborate detailing. An original glazed brick street nameplate survives. Low boundary walls in white salt-glazed brick with stone plinths survive at the west end. Nos. 42-48 have red brick piers and terracotta ball finials. Nos. 24-26 boundary walls have deep brick swags

East end of the terrace was built by 1865. By 1899 the crescent had been completed. The earliest houses were quite grand, the later ones more modest in scale. Some of the large houses have been converted into flats. There are dental practices, surgeries and a funeral director's on this street. Nos. 1-6 are raised on half-sunken basements, requiring grand steps to the front door.

No. 1 is a gabled corner house creating a 'palace front' to the street with this more prominent end 'pavilion'. No. 1 has an overhang finished with shaped timber bargeboards and finial, traditionally painted dark rich colours or black.The eaves have a deep overhang supported on tightly spaced concave timber brackets. Later ones are infilled between with stucco to create a swept half-timbered motif. Low boundary walls in white salt-glazed brick with stone plinths survive to the front gardens.

There are Tyneside flats at the western end. Nos. 1-7 are handed pairs (each house is a mirror plan of the next). The bays are decorative with moulded pediments and hipped, pitched, lead-roll roofs. The brick eaves include attractive dentiled or dog-tooth patterns. No. 26 is a corner building with quoins. Buff-yellow brick chimneys with a variety of pots.

East end of the terrace was built by 1865. By 1899 the crescent had been completed. The earliest houses were quite grand (wider and longer and with long gardens), the later ones more modest in scale. The terrace has a formal face to the street and a functional rear to a back lane. Due to the angles in the street and at each corner plot, some of the rear yards are extremely narrow. No. 16 is a gabled corner house creating a 'palace front' to the street with this more prominent end 'pavilion'. No. 15 is a corner building with quoins. The eaves at the top end of Alma Place have a deep overhang supported on tightly spaced concave timber brackets. Later ones are infilled between with stucco to create a swept half-timbered motif. Nos. 13-14 have original detail of four coloured stripes of salt-glazed bricks at the eaves in white, black, mauve and blue. No. 16 Alma Place has an overhang finished with shaped timber bargeboards and finial, traditionally painted dark rich colours or black. Houses at the east end were designed with a small dormer window to the front with a pitched roof and glazed cheeks. Some have angled sides and ornate brackets. Other houses have had similar dormers inserted on front or rear slopes quite early on. An enamelled street nameplate survives. The east end of the terrace has long, leafy front gardens behind tall hedges. The gardens include an avenue of trees which forms a tall attractive canopy to the wide street. Low boundary walls in white salt-glazed brick with stone plinths survive at the top end of Alma Place. A few iron gates survive, hung on decorative stone gate piers or iron posts. A horse chestnut tree has a Tree Preservation Order.
