Description
Albion Place is a symmetrical terrace of four houses built around 1830, located on Hockley Hill. The two-storey buildings are faced with stucco and feature two bays each. The ground floor has channeling that extends up to the first-floor sill course. The first floor is distinguished by short panelled pilasters, which are coupled between the second and third bays and the sixth and seventh bays. The shallow capitals of these pilasters support a frieze and moulded flat eaves that lead to a common hipped slate roof. There are flanking stucco chimney stacks on the front pitch.
The windows are revealed glazing bar sashes, with four panes by five panes on the ground floor and three panes by four panes on the first floor. The ground floor windows have incised panelled heads flanked by consoles with thin cornices above. The channeling is also present in the round-headed doorways, which feature panelled architraves in antis, impost blocks, and moulded doorheads that return to panelled reveals. The doors are six-panel, with an inverted, radial looped, marginal glazing pattern in the fanlights. Originally, there were two doorways at the centre, but one has been adapted into a window.
