Two adjoining villas of around 1840, located on Porchester Terrace in the City of Westminster. They are built of brick with stucco dressings and have slate mansard roofs.

No. 17 includes a cast iron bombé balcony and window guards. Cornices are present above the first-floor level, and the buildings feature parapets with pedimented projections.
