5-9 St James's Place

5-9 St James's Place consists of a row of terraced houses built around 1685. Originally constructed from brown brick, most of the buildings were stuccoed in the early 19th century and feature slate roofs. The houses are four storeys tall with dormered mansard roofs, and each front has three windows. The doorways are square-headed with rectangular fan-lights and panelled doors. The windows are nearly flush frame sashes without glazing bars and have slightly cambered heads. There are bands between the storeys and parapets with copings. The first floor has cast iron balconies. Inside, the houses retain original features such as panelling, box cornices, and dog leg closed string staircases. Additionally, there is a wall-mounted Windsor gas lantern on the front elevation of Number 8.
