49 and 50, Bryanston Square W1

Nos. 49 and 50 Bryanston Square are a pair of terraced townhouses built around 1811, likely designed by Joseph Parkinson for the Portman Estate. The houses are constructed of stock brick with a stuccoed ground floor and have concealed slate roofs. They rise four storeys with a basement and each has a façade that is two windows wide. The entrances are located on the left side; No. 49 features a panelled door with a semicircular fanlight, while No. 50 has a square-headed architraved doorway with a fanlight and two ground floor windows, all flanked by reeded pilasters that rise to a Greek fret ornamented plat band. Notably, the ground floor window of No. 49 is a small later 19th-century canted bay. The upper floors include recessed glazing bar sashes and French casements on the first floor, set under flat gauged arches, with red brick detailing on No. 50. There are continuous cast iron balconies on the first floor and a parapet with coping. The properties are also adorned with cast iron area railings featuring urn finials.
