Description

Numbers 95 and 97, along with the attached area railings, boundary walls, and rear walls, are a house, now divided into a house and hostel. The building dates to approximately 1820-1834, with a late 19th-century alteration to create two separate dwellings. It is constructed with stucco over brick, featuring a slate roof and stucco end stacks. The side walls are of pinkish-brown brick with wrought-iron and iron railings leading to the steps. The design is based on a double-depth plan with a single-story service range at the rear.

The exterior is two stories high, with a basement level, and has five first-floor windows arranged as a 2:3 pattern. Stucco detailing includes horizontal rustication on the ground floor, a band above the ground floor, tooled architraves to the first-floor windows, and a crowning frieze and cornice. Most windows retain the original 6/6 sashes. The central entrance is a Doric porch with an architrave, frieze, cornice, and blocking course, leading to a flight of roll-edged steps and a part-glazed front door with an overlight. A second entrance is on the left side, with steps leading to a 6-panel door and overlight within a pilastered surround, topped with a frieze, cornice, and blocking course. At the rear, original 6/6 and 8/8 sashes remain, alongside a tall, central 6/9 staircase sash with a fanlight set within a round-arched reveal.

The interior of Number 95 retains an open-well staircase with alternating stick and ornate iron balusters and a tile floor; other areas have not been inspected. The area railings feature a Carron Company balustrade with a double heart and anthemion motif. Decorative window guards with a circle motif are present along the ground floor. Boot scrapers are located on the top step of the entrance steps. A rear wall adjoins the service range, with a doorway and plank door raised above and forming part of a brick wall approximately 2 meters high, extending to the south and west boundaries. This wall continues along Montpellier Grove, incorporating arrowhead railings with arrowhead dogbars and anthemion finials to the stanchions, which then return to Montpellier Terrace. The property was known as Belgrave Lodge during the 19th century.
