Numbers 7-17 (Consecutive) And Attached Railings

This is a row of eleven terraced houses, numbers 7 to 17, located on Cloudesley Square, dating from approximately 1825 to 1828. The houses are built of yellow and brown stock bricks in a Flemish bond pattern, with simple stucco dressings and banded stucco to the ground floor. The roofs are hidden behind a parapet, with number 8 having a Welsh-slate mansard roof. Brick party-wall stacks rise above the roofs.

The houses are three storeys high, with two windows each, except for numbers 12 and 13, which have a single-window wide facade to the inner corners. The design follows a side-hall entrance plan, with numbers 7 and 17 also featuring entrances on their side street facades. Otherwise, a set of low steps leads to the entrance in the left bay. The doorways have 1/4 fluted column jambs supporting a corniced head, a panelled door, and a patterned fanlight.

The ground floor has round-arched sashes with various glazing patterns: 1/1 in numbers 7, 9, 11, 14, and 17; 1/2 in number 16; and 8/8 with curved glazing bars in a Gothic style in numbers 8, 10, 12-16. Upper floors feature gauged brick flat arches over 2/2 sashes in numbers 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, and 17, 6/6 sashes in the second floor of numbers 10, 8, and 15, 8/8 sashes in numbers 12 and 13, and 9/9 sashes in the first floors of numbers 8 and 15. The first floor has a stucco sill band to its full-length sashes, which are set in arched recesses linked by stucco impost bands. Numbers 12 and 13 have individual balconies, while the others have coupled balconies, all supported by iron brackets and featuring wrought-iron railings. The plain brick parapet shows significant patching and rebuilding, and has a stone coping. Attached iron area railings are also part of the property.
