Number 1 And Attached Railings

Number 1 and the attached railings comprise a house, originally one dwelling but later divided into two, built around 1820 to 1838, with subsequent alterations. It is constructed of brick with painted stucco facades, covered by a Welsh slate roof, and features cast iron railings and a verandah.

The building is two storeys high with a basement and attic. It has five windows on the first floor, with the central three projecting. Giant Tuscan pilasters define the angles of the projection on both the ground and first floors. The first floor has six-pane sashes in the central and outer windows, and narrower four-pane sashes elsewhere, all within plain reveals with sills. A frieze, cornice, and blocking course conceal French windows with margin lights within the gable. The ground floor has a double flight of steps leading to a central entrance with a five-panel, part-glazed door and overlight featuring glazing bars, set within a recessed surround. This surround includes fluted Doric pilasters, a frieze decorated with three laurel wreaths, a cornice, and a pediment. The basement level has panelled doors and two six-pane sashes, along with casement windows. Chimneys rise from the end and roof.

The left return has two storeys and three first-floor windows. The first floor windows are six-pane sashes in plain reveals, the one on the right having a sill, while the others are framed by tooled architraves. It also incorporates a frieze and cornice. The ground floor features a part-glazed, four-panel door with a fanlight with radial glazing set within a screen porch with a fluted Doric column on the left and a plain pilaster on the right. There are two tall six-pane sashes and a ten-pane French window with margin lights, all framed by tooled architraves and sheltered by a verandah featuring an elongated scroll-and-circle motif.

The interior of the property was not inspected during the listing process.

The property also includes ornate railings with lancet finials to the front, and gates leading to the steps.

Arlington Avenue, originally Arlington Street, was laid out in the 1820s. Number 45 Beauchamp Avenue is listed under the description of Number 1.
