Terraced house. c1825. Probably designed by Amon Wilds and Charles Augustin Busby. Stucco, with roof of tile. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and attic over basement, stepping down to 2 on the return; the lower section treated as a separate block, but, in fact, attached. 3 window range, 6 on right return. Main elevation treated as a full-height segmental bay with quoins to either side. All windows flat arched with entablatures. Ground floor has banded rustication. Balcony to first floor, with cast-iron brackets and railings. Second floor entablature has a denticulated cornice. Entablature and blocking course over attic, this entablature continues on return. Cast-iron balconettes to second floor windows and central bay window on ground floor of main elevation. Flat-arched entry on the return elevation; this has over- and sidelights. The glazing bars taken together form a single geometric pattern of the early to mid C20. This is set within a round-arched recess, from which a porch with a round-arched canopy projects. This porch is supported on panelled console brackets springing from panelled pilasters with acanthus leaf capitals. The first 3 bays of this elevation have flat-arched windows; this section is set off from the rest of the return by quoining rising through 4 storeys. At this point the wall surface of the return sets back, for one bay, and then steps out again. The effect is to divide this long elevation into 2 sections, one an extension of the main elevation, the other a 2 storey block. This low block has its own cornice and corner quoins. The basement window is camber arched, the rest are flat arched. A flight of stairs in the join between the 2 blocks leads down to a basement entry recessed within an elliptical arch. The first and second floor windows above are round arched. Dormers to Marine Parade are round arched, to return flat. Stacks to party walls and centre of return facade. Rails to stairs and area. INTERIOR: not inspected.
