Description

No. 55 Colebrooke Row is a terraced house built around 1755, developed by Steemson. The arrangement of the windows and stacks indicates that it was originally two houses, with one bay on the left and three on the right, later altered in the late 18th century or early 19th century. The house is constructed of yellow brick laid in Flemish bond, with dressings of gauged red brick and stucco, topped with a slate roof. It has four storeys over a basement and features a four-window range. The entrance includes an enclosed stucco porch with pilasters, an entablature, and a blocking course, leading to a flat-arched doorway with quarter columns supporting a cornice, an overlight, and double panelled doors. All windows are flat-arched with gauged red brick heads, with the left-hand bay featuring tripartite windows. The house has a parapet and four dormers in the mansard roof, along with stacks located at the party walls and between the left-hand bay and the rest of the house.
