Numbers 4 To 16 And Attached Railings

Numbers 4 to 16 form a terrace of seven houses, built around 1720 to 1721. Number 4 was constructed by J Cooper, number 6 by E Chapman, and numbers 8 to 16 by J Ragdall. Numbers 6 and 8 were refronted in the 19th century, around 1860. Numbers 4, 10 and 12 were restored between 1980 and 1981 by Donald Insall & Associates for Rugby Estates and the London Borough of Camden. The houses are built of brown brick with red brick dressings, although numbers 6 and 8 are of yellow stock brick with red brick dressings. Projecting brick strips are visible between the houses.

The houses are four storeys high, with basements, and each has three windows, except for number 10, which has a blind half window, and number 12, which has four windows. They are topped by parapets. Number 4 features a wooden Doric doorcase with fluted pilasters which support an entablature with an enriched frieze, a patterned radial fanlight, and a panelled door. Recessed sash windows have gauged red brick dressings; the 1st and 2nd floors display red brick fielded panel aprons. Number 6 has a wooden doorcase with fluted Ionic half columns supporting an entablature and a mutule pediment, a rectangular fanlight, and a boarded-up door. Segmental arches of gauged brick frame two-pane sash windows, which have keystones and bracketed sills. Moulded brick bands are present at floor levels, and an enriched brick band sits at parapet level. Number 8 is similar to number 6 but with a doorcase featuring fluted pilasters and a projecting cornice. Again, the door is currently boarded up. Number 10 has a wooden doorcase with fluted pilasters, a projecting cornice, a rectangular fanlight, and a panelled door; gauged brick flat arches frame the recessed sash windows. Number 12 has a distinctive wooden doorcase with fluted pilasters supporting a frieze featuring a small female head between triglyphs with guttae and paterae, and foliated console brackets supporting a dentil cornice forming a hood with a panelled soffit. It also has a radial patterned fanlight and panelled door. Gauged brick flat arches frame the flush-frame sashes on the ground and 1st floors, with recessed sashes above. Numbers 14 and 16 feature similar doorcases, with numbers 14 having pilasters supporting an entablature with a projecting cornice, and number 16 having reeded pilasters and panelled reveals.

The interiors were not inspected but are noted to retain some original staircases with spiral balusters and carved tread ends, along with some panelled rooms. Number 10 is particularly well-preserved. Attached cast-iron railings, predominantly with urn or torch finials, are present to the areas.
