Description
This is a circa 1820 terraced house located on Russell Square in Brighton. It is a building of group value, contributing to the character of the area.
The house is stucco-faced, with a roof hidden behind a parapet. It rises four storeys over a basement, presenting a one-window frontage to Cannon Place and a two-window frontage to Russell Square. The ground floor is treated with banded rustication. A flat-arched entrance is set within an enclosed porch on the Russell Square side. The Cannon Place frontage, which serves as the principal elevation, includes a segmental bay window on the ground, first, and second floors, with flat-arched tripartite windows. The first-floor windows in the bay are French windows opening onto a replacement bracketed balcony. A cornice sits above the second floor, followed by a tripartite window on the third floor and a secondary cornice above that. On the Russell Square frontage, the first and second floors are framed by incised patterns that create the illusion of pilasters, topped by a segmental pediment. A segmental window is located to the left of the entrance. To the right is a single-storey screen wall with three blank segmental-arched windows. Above these, flat-arched windows are present on the first and second floors, all blank except for the easternmost first-floor window. The parapet curves upwards at its centre.
The interior of the house has not been inspected.
