63-83, ST GEORGES ROAD

This is a terrace of eleven houses, numbered 63 to 83, set back from St George’s Road in Southwark. The terrace was built in 1794. It is constructed of brown and yellow brick with a plain brick coped parapet. Nos. 63 and 83 have a distinctive banded, rusticated stuccoed ground floor, while No. 81 features a stucco cornice and a single large pilaster to the left. The houses are three storeys high, with a basement, and each has two bays with three openings to the ground floor.

The doorways have round arches, with doors set within round-arched recesses lined with moulded stucco, the impost blocks continuing the break-front cornice head. Most doorways have stucco architraves, and all but those at Nos. 67 to 71 have decorative fanlights. No. 79 has slender, attached reeded columns with foliage capitals and a reeded cornice above a timber doorcase, which retains its original six-panelled door. No.81 has reeded jambs to its door. An entrance to No. 83 is located on the return. The sash windows have flat, gauged-brick arches, with decorative glazing bars, except at Nos. 71 to 83, which have stuccoed lintels with decorative keys. The interior of the properties has not been inspected.
