38-62, CLEVELAND SQUARE W2

A row of ten terraced houses located on the south side of Cleveland Square, dating from the mid-19th century. The houses are built of stucco, with a roof that is not visible. They are arranged over three storeys and an attic, with some having a further full attic storey and a mansard roof. Each house is three windows wide, featuring channelled decoration to the ground floor. Projecting Doric porches are present, with solid sides, arched windows on the flanks, and panelled and studded doors facing the street. A continuous stucco balustraded balcony runs along the first floor. The windows are square-headed, with architraves above ground floor level. First-floor windows are distinguished by alternating triangular and segmental pediments. A decorative guilloche band sits above the first floor. Cast iron window guards are visible on the second floor. Sashes with plate glass are used, with French casements on the first floor. A modillion cornice runs above the second floor, with a smaller cornice detailing the attic. Several houses, specifically numbers 41, 42, 47 and 49, feature pedimented windows in the upper attic. An area balustrade is present. Nos 60 to 62 turn the corner into Devonshire Terrace, and have broader windows with pilasters flanking the first-floor windows. The houses form an integral part of the original planned layout of Cleveland Square.
