11-14, BARTON STREET SW1

Nos. 11 to 14 on Barton Street are terrace houses built around 1722. They feature brown brick with a stuccoed ground floor and slate roofs, standing three storeys high with basements and dormered mansards. Each house has a front that is two windows wide, except for No. 14, which has a four-window front. The doorways are plain architraved and located on the left side, with a continuous painted timber architrave-cornice that extends over the ground floor window heads and is broken forward to create cornice-hoods above the doorways, supported by brackets at No. 14. The windows are flush-framed glazing bar sashes set beneath red brick segmental gauged arches. There is a brick plat band at the second floor and a parapet with coping. The properties are enclosed by wrought iron area railings topped with flambé torch finials. Notably, No. 14 was the residence of T.E. Lawrence, commemorated by a plaque from the Greater London Council. This terrace is part of a remarkably well-preserved group of early 18th-century housing, along with Cowley and Lord North Streets.
