Description
The building comprises two semi-detached houses, numbers 11 and 12 Highbury Crescent, constructed between 1848 and 1850. Developed by James Goodbody and James Wagstaffe, they were likely designed by James Wagstaffe. They are built of yellow brick laid in a Flemish bond, with stucco and a slate roof. The fronts of the houses are set back from the crescent.
The houses are three storeys high with a basement. Each has a three-window facade. A flight of steps leads to a porch in the outer bay, featuring Greek Doric columns, an entablature, and a balustrade above the porch of number 12. The doorcase has a cornice and overlight. The innermost bay features a shallow bow window of three lights to both the basement and ground floor, with a balustrade above. The second bay has a flat-arched window with a moulded stucco architrave. First-floor windows are generally flat-arched with moulded stucco architraves and cornices, with consoles to the two inner bays; the innermost bay has a tripartite window. The outer bay's first-floor window is round-arched with a moulded stucco architrave. The outer bays have been raised beyond their original height, with number 12 retaining its original cornice. Third-floor windows to the two inner bays are round-arched with moulded stucco architraves, grouped in threes to the inner bays and twos to the second bays. The building features bracketed and boxed eaves, and a hipped roof with stacks situated along the party walls and between the second and outer bays.
