House. C18, refronted in early to mid C19. Stucco scored to imitate ashlaring; right return of painted cobbles, chimney breast of brick. Half-hipped roof over front section, its long axis perpendicular to front wall, that to rear smaller; both of tile. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys over basement. 2-window range. When refronted the house was given the appearance of a Regency terraced house. The second storey projects above the eaves line of the original structure to terminate in a horizontal parapet so as to mask the half-hipped roof from the front only. On the right return one sees something of the C18 house: cobbles, windows with brick dressings and a brick dentil cornice. The latter feature can also be found on the other return, where there is a flat-arched entrance set into the rear wing, facing East Street. All windows are flat arched. There are sashes of early to mid C19 design on the main elevation: 8/8 to first-floor windows and 6/6 sliding sashes to the second-floors; the shutters date to the C20. There is a C20 dormer to the rear section. Of special note is the shop front, Italianate in style and dating to the mid C19. INTERIOR: not inspected. Nos 26-31 and 33-36 East Street (qv) face onto what is, in effect, a small square, which is formed by the widening of East Street at its northern end. Legend has it that the whole group was built on the site of a small wharf on an inlet of sea. (Carder T: The Encyclopaedia of Brighton: Lewes: 1990-: 57).
