3-13, Campden Hill Square W8

A terrace of eleven houses, numbered 3 to 13, was built between approximately 1828 and 1840. The development is attributed to Christopher Howey on land initially laid out for Joshua Flesher Hanson in 1826 and later acquired by the wine merchant and speculator Rice Ives around 1830. The houses are constructed of stock brick, with rusticated ground floors, and have roofs concealed by parapets, with brick stacks.

The houses are four storeys high with basements set in sunken areas. Each house is two bays wide, featuring sash windows with glazing bars, set beneath gauged brick heads, with some exceptions noted below. Number 4 has undergone considerable rebuilding, as has number 3. Numbers 5 and 6 (dating from 1830-5) have round-arched entrances with pilasters and fanlights, capped with a rusticated keystone, repeated over the ground-floor window. Number 6 features a wrought-iron balcony to the front and reeded window surrounds to the first floor. Wrought-iron plant boxes are positioned on the second floor. Number 7 has a simpler wrought-iron balcony and a round-arched entrance. Number 8 is similar, with an anthemion motif to its balcony front and a fire plaque. Numbers 9 to 13 were completed by 1840. Number 9 has a round-arched window on the ground floor, a panelled door with a toplight, and a continuous balcony front to the first floor, featuring an anthemion motif. An LCC commemorative plaque marks the house as the location of John McDonall Stuart (1815-66), an Australian explorer. Number 10 has a similar balcony and doors. Number 11 replicates the door and door surround pattern of its neighbours, but boasts two elaborate wrought-iron balcony fronts bearing the initials ASC. Number 12 has a rusticated ground floor, a panelled door beneath a three-part rectangular toplight, and its basement, ground floor, and first floor have been refenestrated with square windows. Number 13 also has a rusticated ground floor, and is accessed from the side via a door with a pilaster surround. A bow window extends to the front, ground, and first floor, acting as a terminal feature to the terrace, and is topped with balustrading and a cornice, which is continued around the house. The side elevations incorporate blind fenestration on the second and third floors.

The interiors have not been inspected. Campden Hill Square is considered a particularly picturesque and well-composed series of terraces built up a steep hillside, with a layout possibly influenced by Hanson's earlier work in Brighton.
