Description

Numbers 134, 135, and 136, together with the attached walls, piers, and railings, are a group of terraced houses dating from the early to mid-19th century. They are built of stucco with a slate roof. The buildings were originally designed as a single block, so the description treats them as such.

The houses are three storeys and a two-storey attic, with a basement. The main elevation has a nine-window range, with a four-window range to the return of number 134, which now has a largely 20th-century entrance that lacks distinction. The central three windows of the main elevation are set back slightly, forming a three-bay, bilaterally symmetrical composition. The ground floor is finished with banded rustication. All windows are flat-arched with projecting sills. A porch was added to the ground floor during conversion to flats, probably in the late 19th century. This porch is supported by six cast-iron columns on high socles, with the two outer columns at each end coupled to create narrow end bays. First-floor windows extend from floor to ceiling and open onto a balcony formed by cast-iron railings, which are supported by the roof of the porch. Applied pilaster strips rise up the outer bays of the main block on the first and second floors. These strips are interrupted by a storey band between the first and second floors. Above the pilasters is a broad entablature band. Further pilaster strips rise from the sill band of the first attic storey, terminating in an entablature with a projecting cornice. A second set of pilasters is applied to the second attic storey, above which is a parapet topped by a balustrade. All entablatures and the storey band are continuous across the recessed central section and the returns. The interior was not inspected.

The walls, piers, and railings to the entrance and surrounding areas are also included. The original design of the block likely resembled numbers 131, 132, and 133 Marine Parade, and terraces designed by C.A. Busby on Portland Place. The buildings are included for their group value.
