Nos 7-19 And Attached Railings

This is a terrace of dwellings, now subdivided into flats, built between 1824 and 1828, with alterations to the attic space in the 20th century. The buildings are constructed of stucco over brick, with steeply pitched bitumen-covered slate roofs to the end bays, and mansard roofs elsewhere. The terrace forms the south return to the east side of Brunswick Square.

The building is three storeys plus an attic over a basement, with a temple front and wings, arranging the bays as 3:12:9:12:3. Fenestration includes mixed glazing bars. A pedimented tablet at the centre is inscribed with "Brunswick Terrace" in raised lettering. A glazed addition occupies the site of the former cupola and viewing platform, with renewed railings. The end bays have an attic storey, while dormers and other additions are incorporated within the mansard roof. Pilasters with half-bottle balustrading form the parapet on the returns, rising from a full moulded entablature. Giant Corinthian columns support the entablature in the central and end bays, while elsewhere, pilasters and pilaster quoins are topped with Corinthian capitals. Individual cast-iron balconies are attached to the first-floor windows. The ground floor is rusticated, and surviving blind boxes remain. Original square-headed entrances are found at numbers 7, 8, and 10, although most have been replaced with 20th-century doors; some original bootscrapers are also present.

The right return onto Waterloo Street is three storeys plus an attic over a basement, with three bays. One bay is blind, and the other bays have sash windows with glazing bars, with a French casement to the first floor opening onto a flat-roofed, enclosed Tuscan porch carrying a cyma-shaped cast-iron balcony – the entrance to number 7. An attractive cast-iron support, likely a re-used balcony, serves as a water tank on the rear elevation.

Adjoining the terrace to the north is number 1A Waterloo Street, a late 19th-century rebuilding or refronting of part of number 7, constructed with stucco over brick and a roof concealed behind a pierced parapet with pilasters. This part is single-storey and four bays wide, with sash windows with glazing bars, two canted bays flanked by fixed light bull's-eye windows, and a six-panel door in the right-hand end bay.

Cast-iron railings front the terrace and return to the entrances, including the entrance and street frontage of number 1A Waterloo Street. The original bottle balustrading and coping to the parapet is incomplete.
