Description
A terrace of eight houses, numbers 2 to 9 Albermarle Row, built in 1763. They were likely designed by Thomas Paty for John Webb and originally served as lodging houses for visitors to the nearby hot wells. The houses are constructed of brick with limestone dressings, party wall stacks, and a pantile double-pile roof. They are arranged in a double-depth plan and represent a mid-Georgian style, with three storeys, an attic, and a basement.
The terrace steps irregularly down the hillside, with rusticated pilaster strips rising to a broken cornice and parapet. Number 5 has its central three windows projecting forward under a pediment featuring rusticated quoins and Webb's monogram with 1762 in the tympanum. The doorways at the centre of each house have console pediments above Gibbs surrounds with split keys and angled outer voussoirs, some with rectangular overlights and pointed-arched panes. Number 5 has a raised lozenge in the lower part of its door, while numbers 6 and 7 have their doorways on the right-hand side. Numbers 6, 7, and 4 share console pediments and simple architraves. Number 8 shares a five-window front with number 9, originally entered from the right return. The windows are six-over-six pane sashes with thick bars to number 5, and cambered heads to the basement, with hipped dormers above.
The interior of number 8 includes a large entrance hall divided by an elliptical arch with fluted pilasters, leading to a fine, open-well staircase with a wide curtail, column-on-vase balusters (three per tread), a ramped, moulded rail, and matching wainscot. A modillion cornice is present, along with six-panel doors and panelled shutters. Number 4 has an open dogleg staircase with an uncut string, column balusters, and a moulded rail.
Attached to the front of the terrace are good wrought-iron railings with urn finials and capped piers. Numbers 4 to 7 have scrolled panels to the middle of the railings and to the gates, with scrolled brackets beside the doorway to number 5.
