1 and 2, Diamond Terrace SE10

Nos 1 and 2 Diamond Terrace are an early 19th-century pair of houses, each two storeys with a basement. They feature two windows in the main block and have two-storey entrance extensions that are set back. The houses have a fairly low pitched, hipped slate roof and are built of multi-coloured stock brick. The front is stuccoed, with a projecting stucco box cornice, wide flat pilasters at the corners and inside the outer bays, and a narrow recess on the central axis. The windows are replaced sash windows with glazing bars set in plain reveals under segmental arches, except for the ground floor centre. There are French doors in curved bays that open onto a wooden balcony supported by six delicate pointed arches with fancy latticed spandrels and a frieze. Wrought-iron area railings are present. The entrance extension to No 1 features a first-floor four-light window with one-bar casements and a three-panel door with a bracketed hood on the ground floor. The entrance extension to No 2 has a blank first floor, a three-panel door with a bracketed hood, and a replaced sash window on the ground floor. There are steps at either end and a balustraded outer raised level, which may be an addition.
