Number 140 And Attached Railings

Number 140 is a terraced house dating from around 1825, designed by Amon Wilds and Charles Augustin Busby. It is constructed of stucco with a 20th-century slate mansard roof.

Externally, the house is three storeys and an attic over a half basement, with a three-window front. The facade is treated as a full-height, nearly full-width segmental bay. A tetrastyle portico, with a segmental plan and Tuscan columns supported by impost blocks, shelters a first-floor verandah featuring cast-iron railings and stanchions, all covered by a cyma recta roof section. Stairs lead to the centre of the ground-floor porch. A flat arched entrance with an overlight is situated to the left, with windows to the right. All windows are flat arched with projecting sills. A storey band separates the second floor from the attic, and a projecting cornice tops the attic. The parapet terminates in piers at the party and end walls. The return of the four-window range has a flat-arched entrance, and to the right of this is a second flat-arched entrance leading to a nearly full-height canted bay.

The interior has not been inspected.

The railings to the stairs and those enclosing the ground-floor porch are original. Number 140, along with Nos 137-140 Marine Parade and Bristol Court, Nos 141, 142 and 143 Marine Parade, form a group with Eastern Terrace.
