Numbers 1 To 17 And Attached Rubble Garden Walls And Piers

Numbers 1 to 17 Meridian Place is a terrace of 17 houses built around 1827, possibly designed by James Foster. The houses are constructed of stucco with limestone dressings, featuring party wall stacks and slate and pantile mansard roofs. They are arranged with a double-depth plan and are in a late Georgian style. Each house is three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and has a two-window range. The stepped terrace is articulated with giant pilasters to a moulded coping, rising with the slope of the land; houses 16 and 17 are linked by a full-width pediment. The left-hand doorways have semicircular arches with moulded, keyed archivolts, plate-glass fanlights, and six-panel doors, with returns to numbers 1 and 17. The windows consist of single 8/8-pane sashes on the ground floor, 6/6-pane sashes on the second floor, and 20th-century dormers. Numbers 1, 2 and 13-15 have tented timber balconies with pointed-arched railings incorporating quatrefoils, with no tent to number 1. The interior has not been inspected. Attached to the rear of number 1 is a rubble wall with a two-centred arched brick doorway featuring key and impost blocks. Front garden walls and capped piers are attached to numbers 11-16. The end pediment connects the terrace with the termination of numbers 1-14 Frederick Place, on the opposite corner, and was potentially developed by Benjamin Tucker.
