7 And 8, Brighton Place

Nos. 7 and 8 Brighton Place are late 18th-century houses that have been converted into shops and offices, with No. 8A now amalgamated into No. 8. The buildings are finished in stucco and feature V-shaped roofs between the party walls, with No. 7 covered in slate and No. 8 in tile.

The exterior consists of three storeys, with each house having one window, although No. 8 includes a narrow range set back at the party wall with No. 9. The ground floor has 20th-century shop fronts, and there is a carriageway to the right of the shop for No. 8, leading to a blank range that angles back to the party wall with No. 9. All windows have flat arches.

The first-floor window of No. 7 retains its original projecting sill but has been replaced in the late 20th century. The original form may still be seen in the second-floor window, which is tripartite with sashes rebuilt in an original pattern: 6 x 6 for the centre and 2 x 2 for the sides. The party wall between Nos. 7 and 8 is visible above the roof. No. 8 features a segmental bay with tripartite windows on the first floor, with sashes rebuilt in a late 18th or early 19th-century pattern: 6 x 6 for the centre and 4 x 4 for the sides. The second-floor tripartite window has the same sash pattern. This window, along with those in the narrow set-back range to the right, has an architrave. The carriageway range has first- and second-floor windows with 4 x 4 sashes, which are an original early 19th-century design. There are stacks on the end wall of No. 7 and the right party wall of No. 8. No. 8 was extended to the rear in the late 20th century. The interior has not been inspected.
