Description

Numbers 5-9 Highbury Place consist of a terrace of three-storey houses with a basement, dating from 1773-4 and developed and designed by John Spiller. The houses are constructed of brick and stucco, with slate roofs. Each house has three windows, with dormers to numbers 6-9. The recessed entrances are round-arched, set back under round arches with gauged brick heads, stucco keystone, and impost blocks. Most windows have flat arches with gauged brick heads, and retain their original six-over-six sash windows. Number 7 has had its first-floor windows lowered and features cast-iron balconies to the first and second floors, a band above the second-floor windows, a parapet, and dormers within a mansard roof. Chimney stacks are located on the party walls. Area railings are present with pinched spike and acorn finials, though some are missing in front of number 6. Numbers 5, 8 and 9 also have scrolled overthrow lampholders. A former coach house is located between numbers 9 and 10, constructed of both purple and yellow brick, with a slate roof, and a right-hand side that has likely been rebuilt. The coach house is single-story and features a pedimented gable above round-arched openings. It contains a central blank recess with round-arched entrances to either side, each with keystones and impost blocks.
