33-77, Westbourne Terrace W2

This is a grand terrace of houses located at 33-77 Westbourne Terrace, built around 1840, likely by William King and William Kingdom. The terrace is constructed of stucco and originally comprised four storeys, with a later added storey to some of the centre houses. Each house has a facade of two windows. The central five houses, and the pairs at each end, project slightly and feature rusticated quoins. The ground floor is channelled, and each house has a projecting porch in the Greek Doric style, with studded, panelled doors. A continuous bombé balcony extends across the first floor. First-floor windows are pedimented and flanked by fluted Corinthian columns. Second-floor windows are corniced, and have architraves above the ground floor. Some third-floor and added storey windows have been replaced with wide metal frames, primarily with plate glass casements. A guilloche band is located above the second floor. A rich dentil cornice originally extended above the third floor but has been lost from numbers 67 to 77. A subsidiary cornice appears on the attics of the centre houses. Cast iron area railings are present. The sides of the terrace feature three-storey, semicircular bow windows. The terrace forms an integral element of a larger group of houses in Westbourne Terrace and is closely aligned with numbers 36 to 68.
