1-17 Ulster Terrace

Ulster Terrace is a row of town houses built around 1824 by John Nash, as part of his development of Regent's Park for the Crown Estate. The terrace is of group value, recognised for its exceptional quality and historic significance.

The buildings are constructed of stucco with a slate roof and display a symmetrical design. They incorporate a ground-floor colonnade using Ionic columns, a design theme influenced by Park Crescent. A distinctive feature is the presence of pairs of three-story bowed fronts to the end houses. The buildings are three stories high with dormered mansards, and the bowed pavilions include attic stories. Each house has a three-window front, while the bows have three windows per floor. Semicircular arched doorways and square-headed ground-floor windows are set within an engaged Ionic colonnade between the bowed pavilions and along the main range.

The windows are recessed, with glazing bars and architraves with cornices to the upper floors. Continuous cornices run around the bowed sections. Between the bows, the end houses have coupled sashes within segmental arched recesses. The exterior features an entablature above the ground-floor colonnade, a sill course on the second floor, a crowning cornice, a balustraded parapet that screens the dormers and attics over the bows complete with cornices and blocking courses. The property is fronted by cast iron area railings in a Grecian style.

Ulster Terrace is architecturally balanced by the identical St Andrew’s Place, located to the east of Park Square, within the London Borough of Camden.
