6-30, Westbourne Terrace W2

This is a terrace of houses built in the 1840s, likely designed by William King and William Kingdom. The terrace, numbers 6 to 30 (even), is constructed of brick with a painted stucco finish, with the ground floor channelled to create a rusticated appearance. A concealed roof sits above four storeys, with a basement and attic to the central and outer bays.

The design is symmetrical, featuring a prominent central nine-bay section that projects forward, flanked by further three-bay breakforwards, and then twelve-bay wings, with the outer three bays also projecting. Rusticated quoins mark the breakforwards. Tuscan porches project from the central section and are flanked by tripartite sash windows. A first-floor balcony is present, decorated with vase balusters. Casement windows with pediments supported by attached columns are a feature of the central bays, while other windows are supported on corbels. The outer bays have tripartite windows within pilastered surrounds. Second-floor balconies are set before the casement windows, with hoods on corbels, except for the outer bays. Third-floor casement windows are set within architraves. A dentil and modillion cornice runs along the outer bays. The attics have large volutes and are topped by parapets with vase balusters. The return side of number 30, facing Craven Street, features a three-storey, three-window bow with a ground-floor porch.
