1-7, Clarence Place E5

This is an early 19th century terrace of seven houses, each with three storeys and a basement, and originally featuring two windows. The houses are constructed of stock brick with a stone-coped parapet. The upper parts of numbers 3 and 4 have been rebuilt, likely following war damage. Gauged flat brick arches frame the second-floor sash windows, some of which retain glazing bars. Long casement windows with transoms are also set within gauged brick arches and have small cast iron balconies on the first floor. A horizontal cill band runs along the first floor. The ground floor windows are round-headed, set within round-arched recesses of gauged brick, and some are boarded up. Others retain glazing bars. Number 4 has windows with interlaced bars and margin lights. The houses have six-panel doors, each with fluted pilasters, a cornice head, and a wide fanlight incorporating interlaced glazing bars and margin lights. There are five steps leading to the doors, complete with cast iron handrails. Numbers 1 and 2 are currently empty and in a state of decay. Number 7 has a cast iron covered balcony on the first floor. Numbers 1 to 7, along with numbers 20 to 25 on Clapton Square, form a notable group.
