Description
No 24 Kensington Square is a Grade II listed building that dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century, although it has undergone many alterations, especially in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, which have diminished its original character. The building is three stories high with two windows and is finished in stucco. To the left, there is a lower extension that contains the entrance. The windows feature moulded surrounds, and there is a round-headed doorway. Notably, there are good iron window guards on the first floor. The front of the building likely dates from around 1820.
