Description
This is a group of three terraced houses built between 1807 and 1818. They are constructed of stucco with slate roofs visible where they exist.
The main facade, facing King's Road, is four storeys high with a basement level, and each house has a single-window arrangement. A flat-arched entrance to numbers 147 and 148 has pilasters, an entablature, and an overlight. A two-storey canted bay window extends across the ground and first floors, and Ionic columns support first-floor cast-iron verandahs. The first and second floors are flanked by Ionic pilasters, topped by an entablature. The third-floor windows are flat-arched and set back under a round-arched archivolt. Piers are positioned between each house, and there is a shallow cornice but no parapet, with stacks to the party walls.
Number 146 has a different facade facing Bedford Square, comprising three windows and a double-fronted design. A porch with antae distyle in antis and a partially wreathed entablature provides access to a flat-arched entrance with a decorative fanlight. Single-storey segmental bays with semi-domes flank the porch, with tripartite windows and console brackets supporting wreathed entablatures. Some of the original sash windows remain. Above the porch is a cast-iron verandah framing a round-arched window with a moulded stucco architrave, along with further flat-arched windows. The interior has not been inspected, and original cast-iron area railings are present.
