Number 62 And Attached Railings

This is a mid-19th century terraced house on Marine Parade in Brighton. It is constructed of stucco, with a parapet concealing the roof. A metal concave roof covers the verandah.

The house is four storeys high, with a basement, and has a two-window front and a five-window return. It is designed in an Italianate style, with all openings featuring flat arches. The basement is rusticated. The entrance has an overlight framed by Tuscan pilasters and an entablature. Tuscan pilasters, responds, and an entablature flank all upper-floor windows. A full-height canted bay with tripartite windows is to the right of the entrance. The ground-floor centre bay window is segmental in plan. The first-floor verandah has cast-iron brackets and colonnettes.

A notable feature is a full-height segmental bay near the corner, which rises from the rusticated ground floor. Its base narrows to a corbel block bearing the carved face of an old man with a beard and a crown. The triple windows in this bay have flat arches framed by Tuscan pilasters and entablature at each floor. The first floor has a flat-arched window with a shouldered architrave and segmental pediment supported by console brackets, repeated above with a triangular pediment. The next window above has only an eared and shouldered architrave. Moulded cornices delineate the storeys between the ground and first floors, and between the first and second, and second and third floors.

Originally, the return was divided into two blocks, but a 20th-century addition has obscured this. The remaining three bays were originally a lower three-storey block with closely spaced, flat-arched windows with architraves on the first and second floors. The central window of this arrangement has a segmental pediment on console brackets, while the outer windows have triangular pediments. The architraves of the upper windows have both shoulders and ears. A projecting cornice marks the boundary of the original structure.

The interior was not inspected. The house has railings to the entrance stairs and area.
