Numbers 28, 29 And 30 And Attached Railings

Nos. 28, 29, and 30 Percy Street are a group of three terraced houses built between 1766 and 1770 and subsequently altered. They were constructed by W Franks, W Richmond, H Roydhouse, and J Pritchet.

No. 28 has a brown brick facade with a stucco ground floor, marked by plain bands at the first-floor level and first-floor sill level. The house is four storeys high, with a later addition of a third floor, and has a basement. It features two windows. The round-arched doorway has a wooden doorcase with pilasters supporting an enriched console-bracketed entablature, a fanlight, and a panelled door with a lion mask knocker. Gauged red brick flat arches frame slightly recessed sash windows with exposed boxing and glazing bars. A stone cornice sits at the third-floor level, topped by a parapet. The interior remains uninspected.

No. 29 is constructed of multi-coloured stock brick with a stucco ground floor, also featuring plain bands at the first-floor level and first-floor sill level. It is similarly four storeys high with a basement and has three windows. The round-arched doorway has reeded quarter-round reveals, a cornice head, a patterned fanlight, and a panelled double door with a lion mask knocker. Recessed sash windows with original glazing bars are set within flat arches of gauged red brick. A stone cornice appears at the third-floor level, and the building is capped with a parapet. Internally, a panelled hall and a stone staircase with a foliated wrought-iron balustrade are present. The attic stair has a Chinese Chippendale style balustrade. The ground floor front room is panelled in a 1740s style, with carved egg-and-dart framework. The panelled doors share similar carving. A distyle-in-antis Ionic screen and a dentil box cornice decorate the moulded plaster ceiling. A column-flanked chimney piece is also noted. Two first-floor rooms contain heavy cornices.

No. 30's brickwork is multi-coloured stock brick, with the facade above the second floor refaced and a stone cornice replaced by a brick band below the parapet. It has a slated mansard roof with dormers and stucco bands at the first floor and first-floor sill levels. The house is three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and has three windows. A doorway with a wooden Ionic doorcase, a broken pediment, a round-arched fanlight and a panelled door with a lion mask knocker features a margin light to the left of the doorcase. Recessed sash windows from the 20th century are set within flat arches of gauged red brick. The interior includes a panelled hall and stone staircase with a foliated wrought-iron balustrade. The ground floor front room is panelled.

Attached cast-iron railings featuring torch flambe finials are also part of the listing.
