79-119, Westbourne Terrace W2

This is a grand terrace of houses located in Westbourne Terrace, dating to around 1840 and likely designed by William King and William Kingdom. The houses are constructed of stucco, with slate mansard roofs. They stand four storeys high, with a full attic storey to the central houses. The houses are generally two windows wide, though the central house and the pairs at each end project slightly and have rusticated quoins. The ground floor is channelled. The central pair of houses feature projecting Greek Doric porches with a colonnade to the ground floor. The front doors are panelled and studded. A continuous, bombé balcony runs across the first floor. First-floor windows are pedimented and flanked by fluted Corinthian columns. The second-floor windows are corniced, and all windows above the ground floor are architraved. Most windows are sashes with plate glass, though first-floor windows include French casements. A guilloche band is located above the second floor. A rich dentil cornice sits above the third floor, though this has been removed from numbers 79 to 81 and simplified on numbers 85, 103, and 105. A subsidiary cornice is present to the attic of the central houses. Cast iron railings front the terrace. The side returns feature three-storey semicircular bow windows. The terrace forms an integral part of a grand scheme of houses in Westbourne Terrace.
