Description
No. 49 Welbeck Street is a terraced town house built around 1780 as part of the Cavendish-Harley Estate development. The building is constructed of stock brick with a channelled stucco ground floor and features a tiled roof. It stands four storeys high with a dormered mansard roof above a basement and has three windows across its façade.
To the left, there is a semicircular arched doorway framed by a Doric doorcase that includes engaged columns and a cornice hood. The entrance has a panelled door and a fanlight above it. The upper floors have recessed sash windows set under flat gauged arches. The stucco work is finished with a plat band at the first floor level, and there is a stucco cornice above the second floor, leading to a parapet with coping. Delicately patterned cast iron balconettes adorn the first floor, and there are cast iron area railings topped with urn finials.
Inside, the house retains a staircase with slender turned balusters and some cornice mouldings.
