40, Craven Street Wc2

No. 40 Craven Street is a terraced town house built around 1731, with alterations made around 1792. It features brown brick with red brick window dressings and a channelled stucco ground floor, topped with a slate roof. The building has four storeys, with the top floor added in 1792, and a basement. It is four windows wide and has a square three-room plan similar to No. 39, but without a front staircase. The semicircular arched doorway is located in the second bay from the left, framed by a plain stucco surround, and includes a recessed panelled door and fanlight. The windows are recessed plate glass sashes set under flat gauged red brick arches. There is a cornice-band above the ground floor and a sill band at the first floor, which finish off the stuccowork, along with a parapet that has coping. The property is enclosed by cast iron area railings with urn finials.

Although the interior has been altered, it still retains plain panelling above the first floor, while the rear first floor room features fielded panelling and carved wood pilasters around the chimneypiece. The cut and carved string staircase has two balusters per tread and a clustered curtail. This house is part of the 18th-century development of the Craven family's Brewhouse estate, which was laid out by Flitcroft.
