Nos. 13 And 14 With Railings

A pair of houses at the end of a terrace, dating from around 1840. The houses are located at the end of Charlotte Street, returning to Palace Yard Mews. They are constructed of limestone ashlar with slate roofs. The floor plan indicates they may have originally been part of a longer terrace, with the development later curtailed by the construction of a church to the right.

The houses have three storeys and a basement, with the rear elevation rising to a full four storeys. Each house has two windows wide to the front. The windows are twelve-pane sashes, set in moulded architraves. The first-floor windows have cornice hoods supported on consoles. The ground floor and basement windows have plain reveals. A single-storey, set-back porch with a four-panel door and transom light, topped with a cornice and blocking course, is located to the left of number 13. Number 14 has a similar door and transom light on its far left side. A plinth runs along the base, while a sill band is present below the first-floor windows. A cornice with a blocking course and a parapet tops the front, stepping and sweeping down at the centre. Deep ashlar stacks are visible on the coped party divisions on the right side.

The return elevation to Palace Yard Mews continues the cornice and parapet, and the porch runs for the full depth. The upper two floors on the rear elevation feature two blind lights at each level, mirroring the detailing of the front. The rear elevation is in ashlar block, with two staggered windows per floor; four-pane windows are found in number 13, while number 14 has twelve-pane windows and a basement door. It has a cavetto cornice with a blocking course and a parapet. The interior of the houses has not been inspected.

Simple railings on an ashlar curb enclose the basement areas, returning at the ends and at the central doorway.
