77 And 79, Portland Road

These are two late 18th or early 19th century townhouses on Portland Road. They are three storeys and have an attic, built with grey headers and yellow-coloured brick window surrounds. Each house has two sash windows, with the left-hand windows narrower and blind, except for the first floor of number 77 and the ground floor of number 79. Number 77 has an additional door, likely leading to a through passage. The roofs are slate, with a dormer window on each house; number 77’s dormer is a casement and number 79’s has glazing bars. The ground floor of number 79 features a recessed door, while number 77 has a door. Numbers 75 to 89 (the odd numbers) form a group.
