7-13, Clapton Terrace

This is a mid-to-late 18th-century terrace of large houses, comprising numbers 7 to 13, Clapton Terrace. Each house is four storeys high with a basement, and features three windows. The construction is largely brown brick, accentuated by red brick dressings and a stone-coped parapet. Sash windows are set within gauged flat brick arches, with some retaining their original glazing bars. The first-floor windows of number 11 have been altered to long casements and an iron-railed balcony has been added, supported on a Doric porch with fluted columns. The ground floor of number 11 is faced with banded rusticated stucco, while the other basement areas are stuccoed. The front doors are six-panel affairs, with number 10 having a half-glazed door. Number 11 has a cornice head continuing to form impost blocks of a narrow moulded architrave above a fanlight, and is fronted by a prostyle Ionic porch with an enriched frieze and cornice. Numbers 8 and 9 have Roman Doric doorcases with open pediments above their fanlights, while numbers 12 and 13 have open pedimented doorcases; number 13 has mutules to its cornice and pediment. The terrace forms a group with the Church of St Thomas and numbers 1 to 17, Clapton Terrace.
