Numbers 1 To 14 (Consecutive) And Attached Front Garden Walls Piers And Railings

Numbers 1 to 14 Frederick Place is a terrace of fourteen 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 follow a double-depth plan and are in a late Georgian style. Each house has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a two-window façade. The terrace is stepped, articulated by giant pilasters to a moulded coping that rises ramped at alternate houses; No. 14, at the right end, features a three-window façade with a full-width pediment. The right-hand doorways, semicircular-arched, and the left-hand doorway to No. 1, have moulded archivolts with keys, plate-glass fanlights, and six-panel doors. The ground floor has single eight-pane windows, the first floor has French windows with margin panes leading to timber balconies with wrought-iron pointed-arched railings and quatrefoils; the railings are tented on No. 4 and are missing from Nos. 6 and 13. The second floor has six-pane sashes, and there are 20th-century dormers in the attic. Inside, the entrance hall features a doorway to a rear, open dogleg staircase with stick balusters, a curtail, a wreathed, banded rail, reeded architraves with roundels, six-panel doors and panelled shutters, and acanthus cornices. Attached to the terrace are front garden walls, piers, and railings. The end pediment connects the terrace to the similar termination of Nos. 1-17 Meridian Place, on the opposite corner, which may also have been developed by Benjamin Tucker.
