Number 12 And Attached Railings

Number 12 is a terraced house built in 1786, located on the east side of Old Steine in Brighton. The house is constructed of brick, which is now painted, and features a tiled roof. It has three storeys above a half-basement and a three-window range. There are steps leading up to a round-arched entrance that is framed by engaged Doric columns, an entablature, and an open pediment. The entrance includes panelled reveals, a fanlight, and a panelled door that is of original design. All the windows are flat-arched, with the left-hand window on the first floor and the second-floor windows featuring sashes of original design. The house has a parapet and cast-iron railings leading to the steps and area. This is the only house on the east side of the Steine that retains its original front from 1786. The interior has not been inspected.
