17 And 19, Pembroke Road

A pair of attached houses dating from around 1840. The construction is limestone ashlar with lateral and party wall stacks. The houses have a double-depth plan and are arranged over three storeys and a basement. They have a two-window front, with the outer windows set back from the central section. The central windows are set within shallow, wide projections, featuring a banded ground floor and a projecting plat band. A second-floor sill band runs across, with a raised moulding above the central windows, alongside a frieze and moulded parapet coping. Porches to the returns feature paired pilasters and moulded coping, with overlights containing diagonal bars. Four-panel doors lead into the properties, with canted oriels above the entrances. The ground-floor windows are tripartite with cornices, containing 6/6-pane sashes, alongside flanking 2/2-pane sashes. Cornices are present above the first-floor inner windows, which have architraves. First-floor windows have 6/6-pane sashes, and the second-floor windows have 3/3-pane sashes. Number 17 has a late 19th-century porch extension with panelled pilasters. Number 19 has a doorway set into the right-hand ground-floor window. Inside, there is a half-glazed screen door leading to a stair hall, featuring an open dogleg staircase with cast-iron balusters, a curtail, 6-panel doors, panelled shutters, cornices, and fireplaces. The houses are part of a group with numbers 21 and 23.
