13, Northampton Street

This is a house built after 1819, with a later addition of a second floor. It was designed by GP Manners. The front and rear of the house are constructed from limestone ashlar, with a parapeted roof. The roof has Roman tiles to the front and rear, and party walls with two ashlar stacks to the left, including some early clay pots to the front and truncated stacks to the rear. A staircase is located at the rear.

The house has three storeys and a basement, featuring a two-window front. The first floor has an eight/eight-sash window with a plain reveal, a stone sill, and a wrought iron balconette to the left, and a similar six/six-sash window to the right. The second floor mirrors this with two six/six-sashes, plain reveals, stone sills, and wrought iron balconettes. The ground floor has an eight/eight-sash window, a stone sill, a wrought iron balconette to the left, and a six-panel door with reeded and fielded panels, voided corners, and a plate glass fanlight. A single pennant step leads to the door, which is set within a round-headed, plain reveal with a wrought iron footscraper attached to the left. The basement level features a twelve-pane fixed light, partially above ground, with a grating in the pavement. The exterior also includes a plinth, a moulded cornice over the first floor, a lintel at the eaves, a coped parapet, a lead hopperhead, and a part-lead downpipe to the front left. The rear elevation features glazing bar sashes with wrought iron balconettes on both the first and second floors.

The interior of the house has not been inspected. Northampton Street and its surrounding development commenced around 1791 to designs by Thomas Baldwin, acting as trustee for William Pulteney. Work continued from 1794 after the bankruptcy of the principal contractors, with plans and elevations on leases signed by Thomas Chantry and John Pinch. Construction was completed after 1819, with plans and elevations on leases signed by GP Manners. The street suffered bomb damage in 1942, which significantly impacted the lower part of the street.
