164 AND 166, PECKHAM RYE

These are a pair of early 19th-century terrace houses located in Peckham Rye. They are built of stucco, scored to resemble ashlar blocks, and have a parapeted roof. The houses are two storeys and an attic, with a half basement. There are three windows on each floor, arranged in a six-window pattern across the pair, with the central four window bays projecting forward. The ground floor is treated with banded rustication, and steps lead to the entrances, which have overlights set in the centre of each house under a porch with antae supporting an entablature. Windows beside the entrances have projecting cornices. The ground-floor and first-floor windows have moulded architraves, with the first-floor windows also featuring ears and a sill band. The entablature has a dentil cornice, which runs to the level of the attic windows. Chimneys are located on the former return walls and the party wall. The attic windows of number 166 retain their original 3x6 sash windows. The interior has not been inspected. The buildings are included on the list for their group value along with similar properties to the north.
