Description

Number 70 is a circa 1800 terraced house on the east side of Grand Parade, Brighton. It is constructed of stucco over brick, with a slate roof. The house is four storeys high, with a half-basement and attic, and has a two-window front.

The ground floor is decorated with banded rustication. Steps lead up to a round-arched entrance with decorative glazing to the fanlight, a panelled cornice, and an original panelled door. A full-height segmental bay features two flat-arched windows on each floor; the upper windows have heads of gauged brick. A bracketed balcony to the first floor has cast-iron railings. The building has a parapet and flat-arched dormers in a mansard roof. A stack is located in the party wall.

The interior was not inspected during the listing process. Cast-iron railings are present to the steps and area.
