46, 48 AND 49, LEE CRESCENT B15

This is a row of three stucco-faced houses, numbers 46, 48, and 49 Lee Crescent, dating from around 1830 to 1835. They are part of a larger Regency-style crescent that encompasses numbers 41 to 49. Number 49 is stepped down the hillside and has a three-bay return entrance front of painted brick leading to an east mews lane.

The stucco facades have grooved coursing, a plinth, a first-floor sill band, and a shallow eaves band. The roofs are slate, with a hipped roof over number 49, and the chimneys are stuccoed. Numbers 47 and 48 are paired, with a central shared entrance. They have revealed glazing bar sash windows in segmental arched panels on both floors, with larger single sashes centrally placed on the ground floors of numbers 47 and 48. The entrances are recessed, each with an inner arch of flattened fluted Tuscan columns. The doors are of five fielded and flush panels, in panelled reveals with a soffit, and feature fanlights with an ogee looped radial pattern. Number 49’s return front has a very similar doorway, but with simpler radial glazing to the fanlight. Arched tunnel passage entrances with blind fanlights are located at either end of numbers 47 and 48.
