Description
This is a grand terrace of houses located at 1 to 21 Grosvenor Gardens, including the screen wall and gateway to Beeston Place, built around 1868 by Thomas Cundy III. The buildings are designed in the French Renaissance style and constructed from Portland stone, featuring shaped slates on the tall mansards. The terrace consists of four storeys, an attic with mansards, and a basement. Each house typically has five windows across, except for No 17, which has four. Nos 1, 9, and 17 are set forward slightly and have rusticated quoins and taller mansards, with No 9 featuring a curved mansard.
The houses have projecting Corinthian porches with inset arches, channelling at the ground floors, and balustraded balconies on the first floor. The first floor also has Corinthian columns between the windows. The windows are square-headed on the ground and first floors, round-headed on the second floor, and segmental on the third floor. The dormers have segmental pediments with paired arched windows below. A rich modillion cornice runs above the third floor, and there are polychromed slab chimneys and wrought iron cresting on the roof.
No 19 has a slightly different design, featuring a rounded corner and a return to Beeston Place, with paired Doric columns at the ground floor and superimposed pilaster orders above, including Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite styles, topped with a tall mansard spire.
