54, Colebrooke Row

54 Colebrooke Row is a terraced house dating from around 1745, developed by Steemson. In the late 19th century, a porch and a two-storey bay were added, but these were removed, and the lower part of the street front was completely rebuilt around 1988 under the supervision of Chambers, Goodwin and Partners. The building features brown brick laid in Flemish bond with dressings of gauged red brick. It stands three storeys over a basement, with dormers in the attic and a three-window range. The flat-arched entrance is flanked by fluted pilasters that support an entablature with a dentil cornice that breaks forward over the pilasters, and there is an overlight above the door. All windows are flat-arched with gauged red brick heads. The house has a parapet, dormers in a mansard roof, and side stacks.

Inside, there is a staircase hall with a panelled dado and a modillion cornice. The fine staircase features a curtail step, a wreathed and ramped moulded handrail, turned newels, and column-on-vase balusters, with the vase decorated with fluting. The open string has scroll and leaf forms, and from the first to the third floors, the balusters are of a simpler design. The front and back rooms on the ground floor have a plaster modillion cornice that replicates the original, and the front room has a bolection-moulded fireplace. The first-floor front room features a white marble fireplace with simplified pilasters and an early 19th-century cast-iron grate.
