6 houses, part of a terrace of 20. 1823 to 1827. By Morris Clarke and George Cox (RCHME). Rendered or brickwork, slate roof. PLAN: narrow frontage houses with double-depth plan, dogleg staircase to the rear, and lower service wing. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys with attic. No.14, although built as part of the main ensemble, is in unrendered Flemish bond brickwork, and has a Victorian gabled dormer above a 3-storey canted bay with plain sashes; at second-floor level is a blind window to the left. The arched doorway, to the left, has a plain fanlight above a reeded transom and panelled door, with a Victorian gabled hood on ornamental wood brackets; the alterations are very similar to those made to No.10 (qv) in the same terrace. Nos 15-19 are identical, with a flat-roofed dormer above two 12-pane sashes at second floor (one of these blind to No.15), and a 2-storey flat bow with 8:12:8-pane sashes and an arched doorway to the left, with plain fanlight above a reeded transom and panelled door. There are plat bands above ground and first floors, a small moulded cornice, blocking course and parapet. Each house has a deep brick stack to the right party wall. The backs have a very deep mansard roof, with a raking dormer and a second, lower dormer with glazing-bar sash to No.15; there are 12-pane sashes in the rear wall, and 1 or 2-storey gabled rear ranges. Between Nos 16 & 17 the ridge stack is extended out and down, above roof level, in a form resembling a large buttress. INTERIOR: not inspected. This is the least altered group in the terrace, which is the last of the formal terraces at the N end of the Esplanade. (RCHME: Dorset: South-East: London: 1970-: 354; Buildings of England: Newman J & Pevsner N: Dorset: London: 1972-: 454).
