Description

Number 71 is a terraced house dating from around 1800, located on the east side of Grand Parade in Brighton. The building is constructed of stucco and features a slate roof. It has four storeys over a half-basement, with an attic and a two-window range.

The ground floor showcases banded rustication and has steps leading up to a round-arched entrance, which is framed by pilasters and an architrave with a keystone. Above the entrance is a fanlight with decorated glazing. The cornice displays a Greek key pattern, and the panelled door is of original design. All the windows are flat-arched; those on the ground floor include keystones, while the upper floor windows have architraves. The first-floor windows are complemented by a bracketed balcony with replacement railings, and the second and third-floor windows feature bracketed sills. There is a moulded sill band at the second floor, as well as a storey band between the second and third floors and another between the third floor and the cornice. The building has a blocking course and two flat-arched dormers in the mansard roof, along with a stack on the party wall.

The interior has not been inspected. The property includes cast-iron railings leading to the steps and area.
