Description
Number 51 is a detached house dating from 1856, developed by Henry Rydon and designed by Charles Hambridge. The exterior is brick covered with stucco, topped with a roof of Welsh slate. The house is three storeys high, with a basement, and has a two-window front. A flight of steps leads to a flat-arched entrance in a side porch, featuring a cornice and overlight. The entrance is flanked by Ionic pilasters supporting an entablature and panelled parapet. The ground floor is decorated with banded rustication, while the flat-arched windows have moulded reveals. A storey band separates the ground and first floors. The first-floor windows have flat-arched stucco architraves, a dentil cornice, and a key pattern to their aprons, with a recessed band of palmette ornament above them. A moulded string separates the second floor, where the windows are located to the sides of the building, from the eaves, which have dentils. The roof is hipped, with side chimneys. Attached are two pairs of stuccoed, panelled gate piers with cornices, connected by a balustraded wall. The design of Number 51 is similar to that of Number 45 Highbury New Park.
