48 And 49, Acacia Road Nw8

48 and 49 Acacia Road are a pair of semi-detached villas dating from approximately 1830 to 1840, built as part of the Portland Estate development in St John's Wood. The villas are constructed of stucco with a slate roof and exhibit Italianate-Grecian architectural style. They are three storeys high with a semi-basement. Each villa is two windows wide, with a one-bay entrance wing on either side. The entrance to number 48 has been altered. Number 49 features a pilastered porch facing Ordnance Hill. The windows are recessed sash windows within architrave surrounds, with cornices and consoles to the ground floor. A Doric pilaster order rises from a plat band over the semi-basement to an entablature above the first floor of the main block, followed by a panelled pilaster attic storey and bracketed flat eaves to a hipped roof. A central corniced chimney stack is present. The design is similar to other villas within the adjacent Eyre Estate.
