12-20 and attached railings to Nos.12, 13, 17 and 20, Cambray Place

This is a terrace of nine houses at numbers 12 to 20 Cambray Place, with attached railings to numbers 12, 13, 17, and 20. The houses were built around 1810 to 1830; numbers 15 to 20 appear on a map from 1820, and numbers 12 to 14 on a map from 1834. Their design incorporates a double-depth plan with service rooms at the rear. The construction utilizes ashlar stone facing brick, with a slate roof and tall brick and stucco party wall stacks. The railings are primarily iron, with cast and wrought-iron verandahs to numbers 13 and 15, and a balcony to numbers 19 and 20; window guards are present at number 16.

The houses are three storeys high with a basement, and number 15 has an attic. They feature 19 first-floor windows (two per house, except number 12, which has three). A first-floor band is visible on the exterior. Most windows are original 6/6 sashes, while others are 1/1 sashes, with taller 8/8 sashes in the basement level. All windows are set in plain reveals with sills, with those at numbers 17 and 18 elevated on feet. Mid-20th century casements are set into attic dormers. The entrances are located to the right of each house, with original roll-edged steps leading to five- and six-panel doors, some with glazed panels and fanlights; the fanlights retain batwing-and-circle glazing bars.

The interior of the houses has not been inspected.

Notable subsidiary features include flattened spearhead forecourt railings with urn finials at number 20, and an overthrow and gate with decorative scrolls. Area and boundary railings elsewhere have stick balusters, some embellished with scrolled hearts. Window guards at number 16 consist of rods embellished with star and fleur-de-lys motifs. Numbers 19 and 20 feature a continuous first-floor balcony with flower motifs on the rods, while numbers 13 and 15 have verandahs with similar balustrades including scroll and lattice details.

Cambray Place was originally a wide avenue leading to Cambray House, which was once occupied by the Duke of Wellington but has since been replaced by a mid-20th century block of flats.
