Numbers 28 And 29 And Attached Railings

Numbers 28 and 29 are terraced houses located on Montpelier Road in Brighton, dating from the early 19th century. They are constructed of stucco, with roofs obscured by a parapet. The buildings rise four storeys over a basement and feature a three-window range. The house fronts have full-height, almost full-width, segmental bays, while the basement and ground floor are decorated with rustication.

There is a shared central porch supported by Doric columns, which holds an entablature with a triglyph frieze, a mutule cornice, and a blocking course. The round-arched entrance includes a fanlight, and all windows are flat-arched. The upper floor windows have architraves, with the first-floor windows featuring a central pediment and floating cornices on the outer windows. Cast-iron brackets from the first-floor balconies remain, and there is a storey band between the second and third floors. The central third-floor windows are blind, while Numbers 28 and 29 have 6/6 sashes of original design on the second and third floors. The buildings also have a dentil cornice and a parapet with balustraded panels, although the balustrading is missing on Number 29.

The interior has not been inspected, but there is a fragment of original cast-iron railings at the steps of Number 28.
