Numbers 8 To 15 (Consecutive) And Attached Front Basement Area Railings

A terrace of eight houses, numbered 8 to 15, was built around 1765 and restored in 1972. The houses are constructed of brick with limestone dressings, party wall stacks, and a slate and interlocking tile mansard roof. They have a double-depth plan and are in a mid-Georgian style, each with three storeys, an attic, a basement, and a two-window range. Three and a half pairs front Hope Square, with one house attached to the west side. The houses have pilaster strips to a moulded parapet coping. The left-hand doorways have ashlar surrounds, consoles to the pediments with recessed bed moulds, and six-panel doors with glazed top panels. Basement windows are single sashes; the windows to the right of the doorways have five stepped voussoirs to horned six-pane sashes, and dormers are present. Number 8 has an entrance in the rendered basement, level with the ground in Hope Square, and a separate entrance in Granby Hill. A single-window section attached to Number 9 has a semicircular-arched doorway leading to a passage through to Granby Hill. The interiors feature an entrance hall, a rear dogleg staircase with stick balusters, panelled shutters, and six-panel doors. Attached wrought-iron basement railings are present, along with railings around raised Pennant flagged areas in front of Numbers 9 and 10, matching those at Albemarle Row. The houses were completely restored in 1972, including some new interiors.
