1-14, Kensington Gardens Square W2

A terrace of sixteen houses located on the south side of Kensington Gardens Square, dating from the mid-19th century. The houses are constructed of stucco and extend over four storeys, with an attic and basement level. Each house has a three-window frontage, with deep channelled detailing to the ground floor. Projecting Doric porches front the entrances, and the ground and third-floor windows have square heads. The remaining windows are round-headed, arranged in groups of three, with decorative shafting between them. The first and second-floor groups of windows are corniced, and the centre windows on the second floor are topped with pediments. The windows are fitted with plate glass sashes. A console cornice sits above the third floor, with a further, now damaged, cornice marking the attic level. Cast iron area railings are present. The terrace forms an integral part of the planned layout of Kensington Gardens Square.
