Description

Nos. 6-10 Kensington Place comprise a terrace of five houses built in 1795, with alterations in the 19th century. Designed by John Palmer and constructed by John Jelly, the terrace was intended to complement Kensington Chapel.

The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar with double-pitched slate mansard roofs, dormers, and moulded stacks to the right party walls. They have a double-depth plan and extend over three storeys with attics and basements. Nos. 6-9 each have a two-window front, while No. 10 has a single-window front. The facades feature coped parapets, cornices and ground floor platbands. No. 6 is attached to the left of the chapel and has late 19th-century plate glass sash windows. The left-hand range is stepped slightly forward, showcasing tripartite windows. The right-hand range, also attached to the chapel, features a one-window front above a wide, flattened segmental arch supported by Tuscan pilasters. The entrance is set well back, forming a small courtyard that provides access to the chapel.

No. 7 has late 19th-century horned two-over-two-pane sash windows, and a shallow 19th-century hood supported on large consoles above a six-panel door glazed to the top with a small square window to the right. No. 8 features six-over-six-pane sash windows, engaged columns to a pedimented Tuscan doorcase, a six-panel door glazed to the top with a small square window to the right, and a lead downpipe to the right party wall. No. 9 is similar with Tuscan pilasters to the doorcase and a circular window to the right. No. 10, the right-terminal house, is stepped slightly forward, with a six-over-six-pane tripartite window to the second floor, a similar plate glass window to the first floor, and a two-over-two-pane sash to the ground floor with a plain opening and a six-panel door glazed to the top. The interiors have not been inspected.

The terrace is fronted by original area railings, although the tops have been removed. The vase bases remain.
