Description
These are a pair of semi-detached houses located on Highbury New Park, likely built between 1856 and 1861. They were developed by Henry Rydon and probably designed by Charles Hambridge. The houses are constructed of yellow brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with red brick and stucco dressings, and a slate roof. They are four storeys high with a basement, each featuring two windows.
The basement and ground floors are stuccoed, with the basement featuring banded rustication. Steps lead up to flat-arched entrances with cornices and overlights, flanked by panelled pilasters supporting an entablature with a guilloche frieze, cornice, and a blocking course with antefixae. The ground floor windows are also flat-arched. The first-floor windows have round arches with recessed, hollow-moulded stucco architraves and pointed-arched heads of alternating red and yellow brick. Red brick storey and impost bands are also present. A red brick sill band is visible on the second floor, resting on a course of bricks set at an angle. The second-floor windows are flat-arched, set in a recessed surround of red brick with heads of gauged red brick. The eaves cornice is made of bricks set at an angle, with boxed eaves.
The side returns each have a two-storey stuccoed bay to the basement and ground floor, mirroring the detailing of the front elevation. The roofs are hipped with side dormers, and there are stacks on the party wall and at the ends of the buildings. The design is similar to that of numbers 53-5 and 141-3 Highbury New Park.
