1-4, Percy Place

Percy Place comprises four terrace houses dating to the early, mid, and late 18th century, with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar, topped with double-pitched slate mansard roofs featuring moulded brick stacks to the party walls. They have double-depth plans with rear extensions.

Number 1 is of mid-18th century design and is lower than its neighbours. It has a two-window facade, a low parapet with a fine cornice, and late-19th century chamfered architraves surrounding plate-glass sash windows. A prostyle Tuscan porch is located to the left, with a late-19th century lobby above it, masking a former window. The entrance has a stripped pine six-panel door with glazing to the top, and a covering to the basement area.

Number 2, also of mid-18th century origin, features a three-window range, a coped parapet, a returned modillion cornice, and a ground-floor platband. It also has late-19th century chamfered architraves to plate-glass sash windows. A pedimented Tuscan doorcase with a dentil cornice and engaged columns supporting a glyph frieze with paterae is present at the centre and ends. The entrance has a six-panel door with glazing to the top, and cast-iron area railings.

Number 3, dating to the mid-19th century, is lower in height and has a two-window range. It includes a coped parapet, a cornice, a second-floor sill band, a ground-floor platband, and late-19th century plate-glass sash windows. A projecting porch to the left features a cornice and blocking course, with semicircular arched windows to the canted corners. The original Tuscan doorcase and a six-panel door glazed to the top have been repositioned to the front of the porch.

Number 4 is similar to Number 3 but is taller and includes a returned cornice and a late-19th century two-storey porch to the left, along with a two-window single-storey wing to the far left. The porch has a parapet, cornice, ground-floor platband, and a stone mullioned Venetian window above the doorcase, featuring a keystone to the moulded architrave below a pediment. There is a six-panel door with glazing to the top.

The interiors of the houses have not been inspected. Number 4 was formerly the residence of Reverend William Jay, the influential and long-serving Independent minister of Argyle Street Chapel.
