14, Grafton Street

No. 14 Grafton Street is an early 19th-century terraced house in Brighton, attributed to Charles Barry. The front is stuccoed with painted brick in Flemish bond on the first and second floors. The roof of the right half is slate and turned, while the left side is hidden by a parapet.

The left side of the building is four storeys high, with a basement, while the right side is three storeys high with dormers over the basement. The elevation is divided into two distinct sections; the left has a two-window range and the right has a three-window range, with three rusticated pilaster strips marking the division and rising from the ground floor to the cornice. The cornice is embellished with modillion brackets. A flat-arched entry, framed by Tuscan pilasters, is located in the left half, with a conventional entablature above it, broken by a vermiculated keystone in the frieze. Pilaster strips of vermiculated blocks flank the entry. To the right of the entry is a large, flat-arched window with wood glazing bars arranged as a Venetian window. Storey bands are present between the ground and first, and first and second floors, the latter topped by a parapet aligning with the window sills, which are taller than those below. All the windows are flat arched, with those on the first through third floors having architraves; the second-floor windows also have cornices. The right half of the elevation is treated as a full-height, full-width segmental bay. The ground floor is rusticated with three round-arched bays, each subordered and with a keystone, containing round-arched windows. A balcony enclosed by parapets and railings is attached to the first floor, supported by large modillion brackets. The first-floor windows have architraves and cornices, while the second-floor windows have architraves only. The cornice above the right half is continuous with that of the left and shares the same design. There is one flat-arched dormer, and stacks are situated on the party walls. In 1901, alterations involved extending the ground floor of No. 58 Marine Parade into the ground floor of this building. The interior has not been inspected.
