No 5 Lexden Terrace

No 5 Lexden Terrace is the fifth house in a stuccoed terrace of six houses, built in the 19th century. Each house has three storeys and a basement, with two bays. The upper two floors are flanked by giant Ionic pilasters that rise from a band over the ground floor, and there is an extra pilaster between Nos 5 and 6. The terrace features a full entablature with a moulded cornice and parapet, slate roofs, and brick chimneys. The upper floors have twelve-pane sash windows, while the ground floor openings are not aligned; the entrance door is to the left, and to the right is a tripartite sash window with an unusual glazing pattern of marginal panes surrounding an elongated octagon.

There is a flight of steps leading to the entrance, which is flanked by wrought-iron railings with scroll-designed uprights at each doorway. The stuccoed doorcases have shouldered designs with cornices, and the doors consist of two long panels with overlights featuring tracery similar to that of the ground floor window.

The rear elevation is painted stucco and includes a parapet and a continuous first-floor balcony with decorative cast-iron railings, featuring pierced open-work uprights and a lead tent awning.

The interior is said to be impressive, featuring cantilevered stairs that rise around an elliptical well, which is illuminated by a glazed dome. There are also panelled doors and window shutters.
