Description
Numbers 14 to 16 Highbury Terrace are a group of terraced houses dated 1789, as indicated by a panel on number 15. They are constructed of yellow brick laid in Flemish bond, with stucco finishes, and have a roof hidden by a parapet. The houses have four storeys over a basement, with number 14 featuring a three-window front and an attached entrance wing of one-window range; numbers 15 and 16 have three windows each. A round-arched entrance features a gauged brick head and cornice, a decorative fanlight, and a panelled door of original design. Number 15 has panelled pilasters, while number 16 has a moulded architrave with circular corner bosses. The entrance wing to number 14 has a round-arched window to the ground floor, incorporating a Palladian motif, linked to the entrance by a moulded stucco band. A further round-arched, blank niche and recessed square panel are also present. The first-floor window is round-arched with a gauged brick head and Palladian detailing. All ground-floor windows have round arches set within a recessed round-arched opening and are linked by a moulded stucco springing band; upper-floor windows are flat-arched. A moulded stucco sill band runs along the first floor, where segmental iron balconies are set before the windows. Above the first-floor windows of number 15 is a panel displaying "HIGHBURY TERRACE AD 1789" in incised lettering. A brick and moulded stucco cornice sits above the second-floor windows, and an attic storey and parapet top the building. A screen wall connects number 16 to number 17 Highbury Terrace and features three round arches with gauged brick heads, linked by a moulded stucco springing band, flat-arched entrances in the outer bays, and small round-arched niches between the bays, all topped by a parapet.
