7-9, Belitha Villas

7 and 9 Belitha Villas are a pair of semi-detached villas dating from around 1845, located in Islington. The villas were constructed using yellow and brown stock bricks in a Flemish bond pattern, with stucco dressings, and are topped with a Welsh slate hipped roof featuring projecting eaves and centre stacks. The design incorporates a side-hall entrance plan with a staircase.

The villas are two storeys high, with a basement and attic, and each has two windows, including a narrower, one-window recessed entrance bay. Full-height brick pilasters articulate the inner bay. Steps originally led to prostyle porticoes in the outer bays, which have since been removed; No. 9 retains its original panelled door and rectangular overlight, set within a doorway with pilaster jambs carrying corniced heads. Sashes are set within gauged brick flat arches. The ground-floor sashes are set in gauged-brick, elliptical-arched recesses linked by stucco impost bands. A stucco sill band runs beneath the first-floor full-length sashes. The building is finished with a boxed cornice.
