7 Portland Place

7 Portland Place is a simple classical building dating from 1855. It is primarily two stories tall, except for No 1, which is three stories. The building features three-window fronts with advanced hipped end pavilions. The frontages are finished with rusticated quoins, except for No 6, which has end pilaster strips. The roofs are slate, with wide boarded eaves and a mix of six cement render and two rubble chimney stacks.

The windows are primarily 12-pane sash windows, except for the ground floors of Nos 1 and 7, which have 16-pane windows. No 1 has lintels, while Nos 2 to 7 feature lugged architraves, some with keystones. No 2, formerly the Customs House, has decorative bands and cills. The entrances to Nos 2 to 6 are arched, with No 2 having a rusticated surround, bracketed hoods on Nos 3 and 5, and panelled architraves with keystones on Nos 4 and 6. Nos 1 and 7 have open pedimented doorcases with slender columns. The doors are recessed, with Nos 2 and 4 to 7 having six panels, No 3 having a modern door, and No 1 featuring an eight-panel door. All doors, except for No 6, have five-pane fanlights, and Nos 1 and 7 have panelled reveals.

The right end wall is plain scribed render, while the rear has various cross ranges and a rendered left end wall overlooking the River Aeron, which features sash windows and a side entrance. A datestone at the base reads: "Portland House built by Benjamin Evans in 1855."
