48, Welbeck Street W1

No. 48 Welbeck Street is a terraced town house built around 1780 as part of the Cavendish-Harley Estate development. The building is constructed of stock brick with a channelled stucco ground floor and features a slate roof. It stands four storeys high with a dormered mansard roof and a basement, and it is three windows wide.

The entrance is marked by a semicircular arched doorway located to the right, adorned with vermiculated rustic dressings, likely made of Coade stone, and a decorated keystone. The door is panelled and has a fanlight above it. The upper floors have recessed sash windows with glazing bars intact on the second and third floors, all set under flat gauged arches. The stucco work is finished with a plat band, and the building has a parapet with stone coping.

A continuous cast iron balcony with a bowed baluster pattern is present on the first floor, and there are cast iron area railings with urn finials. Inside, the house retains its front compartment staircases, which feature slender turned balusters, as well as some plasterwork in the Adam style and decorative doorcases. A plaque from the Greater London Council notes that Thomas Young once resided here.
