Description
13-15A Highbury Place are a group of terraced houses built between 1773 and 1774, designed by John Spiller. They are constructed of brick and stucco with slate roofs. The properties comprise three storeys over a basement, with dormers in the attic. Number 13 has three windows, number 14 has two, numbers 14A and 15 have two windows with a shared central blank window, and number 15A has one window. Originally, numbers 13 to 15 were likely two semi-detached houses, each of a five-window range, and were later divided into four terraced houses. The rusticated stucco treatment to the ground floor dates from the early 20th century and includes fanlights dating to around 1800 at numbers 13 and 14, and an early 19th-century reeded architrave to the entrance of number 14A. The ground-floor treatment of number 15 dates from 1989. A stucco storey band is positioned between the ground and first floors. The first- and second-floor windows have flat arches with gauged brick heads, and some retain their original 6/6 sash windows. A band sits above the windows, leading to a coped parapet, with stacks positioned on the party walls. Number 15A, likely built in the late 19th century on the site of a former coach house, features a 20th-century stucco treatment to the ground floor and a 19th-century tripartite window above. The first-floor window is set under a stucco segmental moulding with decorative swags, and the property has a parapet.
