13-19, COLEBROOKE ROW

A terrace of four houses, numbers 13 to 19 Colebrooke Row, was built in 1837 and developed by William Watkins, likely designed by J.W. Griffith. The houses are constructed of yellow brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with stucco dressings, and a parapet that obscures the roof. They are four storeys high, with a basement, and have two windows each. The group is symmetrical, with number 16 projecting as a central feature and numbers 13 and 19 acting as pavilions.

The basement and ground floors are stuccoed, with the ground floor scored to resemble ashlar, including quoins on the projecting parts. Segmental-arched entrances are present at numbers 13 to 18, featuring moulded stucco archivolts, continuous springing bands, fluted pilaster jambs, cornices, fanlights, and original panelled doors. Number 19 has a side porch with minimal original mouldings and overlight. Round-arched ground-floor windows with chamfered rusticated archivolts are found at numbers 14 to 18; numbers 13 and 19 have flat-arched tripartite windows with cornices on consoles. A sill band runs to the first floor. The upper windows have gauged brick heads, with cast-iron balconies to the first-floor windows at numbers 13, 16 and 19, and to the second-floor windows across all properties. A cornices and blocking course serve as a sill band to the attic storey, which also has flat-arched windows with gauged brick heads. The windows are original sashes, with radiating glazing bars to the round-arched windows at numbers 13 (ground and first floors) and numbers 14 to 19. A parapet tops the building.
