1-10, De Beauvoir Square N1

The buildings at 1-10 De Beauvoir Square date from the early to mid-19th century and form a near-symmetrical group of five pairs of houses designed in a picturesque style that blends Tudor and Jacobean elements. Each house is two storeys high with an attic and basement, featuring a single window in the main block and one in a narrower, recessed entrance bay. The pairs are linked by shared walls, and numbers 1 and 10 are partially obscured by numbers 9 and 11. The steeply pitched tiled roofs are notable for their grouped, diagonal brick chimneys. The gable ends are shaped, with stuccoed copings and brick kneelers. Stucco surrounds the windows, some with hoodmoulds. Ground floor windows and the first-floor centre window are square or canted bays, with some incorporating oriels. All the windows are sash windows with decorative lozenge glazing. The entrance doors are six-panelled, each with a patterned rectangular fanlight, set back under plain hoods. Some roofs have been renewed with modern pantiles. Numbers 1 to 10, along with numbers 13 to 30 and the railings surrounding the square, are designated as a group with 89 Mortimer Road.
