No. 8 And Attached Railings

This is a house, now converted into flats, built around 1786, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It's attributed to John Palmer. The front is faced with limestone ashlar, while the rear is a mix of ashlar and rubble. It has a double-pile mansard roof covered with Welsh slate, with a coped party wall and two ashlar chimney stacks on the right side. A staircase is located at the rear.

The building is three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and has a single bay façade with a tripartite-window arrangement. The first floor has three plate glass sash windows with horns, slightly narrower on the left and right. The second floor features similar sashes set within splayed reveals, and the ground floor has two similar sashes with a continuous stone sill to the right and a six-panel door recessed in a chamfered plain reveal with a step leading to a pennant-paved crossover. The basement has two plate glass sash windows with plain reveals and stone sills, and a plank door with an overlight within an ashlar infill beneath the crossover. A double dormer window with plate glass sash windows is also present. A weathered sill band runs along the first and second floors. The building has a moulded eaves cornice and a coped parapet, with a lead hopperhead at the eaves on the left side. The rear elevation has plate glass sash windows and a 20th-century metal window on the second-floor landing. The interior remains uninspected.

Attached wrought iron railings and a gate are present, featuring urn tops, some of which have been cut off, and urn finials missing on the right side, all set on limestone bases. The development was undertaken alongside Portland Place, and the property's history involves complex land dealings and leases originating in 1782 and 1783.
