Numbers 6 To 11 (Consecutive) And Attached Front Basement Area Railings

Numbers 6 to 11 Saville Place are a terrace of six houses, with attached basement area railings, built in 1838 by Charles Dyer. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar with party wall stacks. They are designed in the Late Georgian style. Each house has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a two-window range, except for number 6, which has four. The terrace has a slightly concave front, with a large, full-height three-sided bay on the left-hand end. The ground floor is banded to a cornice, and the upper recessed party walls have strips to a modillion cornice. The attic has cornices and a parapet. Recessed doorways have consoles supporting moulded lintels; number 11 has an overlight with nine oval panes, plate-glass, and a lantern, with a four-panel door. Ground-floor windows are tripartite, with architraves and raised cornices above the first floor. They contain 6/6-pane sashes, with 3/3-pane sashes in the attic. Basement windows feature Pennant stone dressings. A full-width first-floor balcony extends across the front, supported by cast-iron brackets and bowed railings with sinuous rails, along with basket balconies to the bay. The interior of number 6 includes a modillion cornice in the entrance hall, a rear dogleg winder stair with moulded cast-iron balusters, six-panel doors, and panelled shutters. Attached cast-iron spear-headed railings enclose the basement area. The terrace was built to complete an unfinished late 18th-century crescent (numbers 1 to 5), which had been abandoned following a financial crash in 1792.
