Description

This is a terrace of 19 houses, forming the northern half of a crescent, built around 1809-1811. They were designed and constructed by James Burton. The houses are now used as a residential training centre and a hotel. The exterior is dark-red stock brick, with tuck pointing visible, and has rusticated stucco to the ground floors, with a stucco cornice at the third-floor level. The buildings are four storeys high, with basements, and originally had two or three windows each. The central four and the end three houses project forward. The doorways are round-arched, with reeded jambs, cornice heads, fanlights (some with patterned glazing), and panelled doors. Doorways on the returns at numbers 27 and 45, which face Mabledon Place and Burton Place respectively, have prostyle Doric porticoes, flanked by four windows with three being blind. Ground-floor windows are round-arched, and those on the projecting bays are set within shallow, round-arched recesses. Gauged brick flat arches frame recessed sash windows. First-floor windows on the projecting bays feature casements with geometrically patterned glazing to the top lights. All first-floor windows, except for the right-end projecting bay, have continuous cast-iron balconies. There are parapets to the roof. Number 45 has a single-storey, three-window stucco extension on its return, articulated by pilasters carrying an entablature surmounted by a parapet, with a balustraded central panel. The interiors retain some original features. Attached cast-iron railings with baluster finials are present to the areas.
