Description

No. 7 Chelsea Embankment is a house built around 1880 for the first Lord Monkswell. The house is constructed of red and yellow brick with terra-cotta enrichments, extending over four storeys and attics, with a basement. There are seven sash windows, and two bay windows on the ground floor. A band course with alternating paterae runs above the first floor. A porch features a rusticated arch and is crowned with terra-cotta anthemions. The building contributes to the group value of the area.
