315-327, LIVERPOOL ROAD

A row of seven terraced houses built around 1820 to 1830, located on the west side of Liverpool Road in Islington. The houses are constructed of yellow and brown stock bricks in a Flemish bond pattern, with banded stucco to the ground floor and stucco dressings. The roofs are hidden behind a parapet, and brick chimney stacks are located on the party walls. The design incorporates a side-hall entrance with a staircase. Numbers 323 and 325 are set further back than the others.

The houses are three storeys high, with a basement, and numbers 319, 323, and 327 include an attic. Each house has two windows. The ground floor features round-arched openings within stucco recesses. Steps lead to the doorways, which have fluted pilaster jambs supporting a corniced head and a panelled door with a patterned fanlight. Fanlights in numbers 315 and 319 have been replaced in the 20th century, while number 327 has a recessed entrance and a later 20th-century addition and sashes to the ground floor. The upper floors have round arches constructed of gauged brick over the sash windows. First-floor windows are 6/6 sashes set in round-arched recesses, present in all but numbers 323 and 325, and are accompanied by paired iron balconies, except for numbers 315 and 319. Second-floor windows contain late 19th-century and 20th-century sashes, also set within gauged brick flat arches. A band runs along the top of the parapets.
