8 And 9, Clapton Square E5

These are early 19th century houses that have been combined into a single block of flats. The building is four storeys high with a basement, and has six windows across the front. The central two-window section is slightly recessed and has a stuccoed ground floor with a decorative cornice. The roof is low-pitched and slated, with two modern dormers. The upper floors have sash windows with glazing bars, set within gauged flat brick arches. The ground floor windows are round-headed, originally with glazing bars, now without, and are set within round arched recesses. Two modern doors are in the centre section, each flanked by engaged reeded columns supporting a corniced head. Above each door is a fanlight, set within a moulded architrave. Some small modern windows have been inserted. Wrought iron hand and area railings are present, along with ornamental wrought iron balconies to two first-floor windows on the right-hand side. The railings of numbers 7 to 19 (consecutively), together with number 13A, form a group with number 17 Lower Clapton Road.
