Description

Numbers 6, 6A, and 8 are a pair of houses, now serving as houses and a flat, built around 1824-1828, with later additions and alterations from the mid to late 19th century. They are constructed of pinkish-brown brick with painted stucco on the front facade, topped with a Welsh slate roof and featuring cast-iron railings.

The buildings are designed in a double-depth layout with side entrances. They stand three storeys tall with a basement and have five first-floor windows arranged in a 3-2 pattern. The house on the right features a wide two-storey bay that is canted on the ground floor and rectangular on the first floor. The first floor includes a 6/6 sash window, a blind opening, and two 6/6 sash windows, all with plain reveals and sills. To the right, there is a wide rectangular bay window with 2/2 sashes in the centre and sides, topped with a dentil cornice. The second floor has a 3/6 sash window, a blind opening, two 3/6 sashes, another blind opening, and a 2/2 sash, all with plain reveals and sills.

On the ground floor, there are six steps leading to the side entrances, which feature part-glazed four-panel doors with overlights that have glazing bars, all set in plain reveals with Tuscan pilastered surrounds, a frieze, and a cornice. Each house has a canted bay; the left one has 6/6 sashes, while the right one, supported by a decorative Ionic column, has 2/2 sashes. The basement includes late 20th-century glazed doors and a casement window. The buildings have a frieze, a low parapet, and end and ridge stacks.

At the rear, there are two full-height canted bays with 9/9, 6/6, and 3/6 sash windows. The area also features subsidiary elements such as lancet area railings and railings on the sides of the steps. Historically, Portland Place was laid out in 1823-1824, and the buildings at Nos 4-14 (even) Portland Place and Nos 52 and 54 Grove Street form an architectural group.
