Description

No. 53 Upper Brook Street is an end of terrace house built in 1730, with alterations made around 1822 to 1827. The building is constructed of stock brick and features a channelled stucco ground floor, topped with a slate roof. It stands four storeys high, including a basement and a dormered mansard, and is two windows wide.

The entrance is a semicircular arched doorway located to the right, which contains a six-panel door and a fanlight above. The ground floor windows are also semicircular arched, with recessed sashes. On the upper floors, the windows have recessed sashes set beneath flat gauged arches. There is a plat band above the first floor, and the parapet is finished with coping.

An early 19th-century cast iron balcony with a geometric pattern is present on the first floor, and there are wrought iron area railings.
