1-29, PELHAM PLACE SW7

This is a terrace of twenty-nine houses, built in 1833 by George Basevi, forming part of the layout of Pelham Crescent. It is one of two terraces leading from the centre of Pelham Crescent. The houses are constructed of stuccoed brickwork and curve towards their northern end. Each house has three storeys and two windows, featuring a continuous balustraded parapet, a modillion cornice, and a second-floor band course. The ground floor is stuccoed with channels. The ground- and second-floor windows are six-over-six pane sash windows. The elongated first-floor windows are casements, with small ironwork balconies. Doorways are raised up short flights of stone steps, and have scrolled side brackets and semi-circular fanlights. Number 29 features a two-storey canted bay window and Doric pilasters to the upper storeys. The interior of the houses has not been inspected. These houses are notable for their architectural interest as a good example of an early 19th-century stuccoed terrace, and their planning interest as part of the important Pelham Crescent layout. They also hold group value with other contemporary houses in Pelham Place and Pelham Crescent.
