Terraced houses with shop- or office-fronts. 1852-3. Stucco,
roof of Welsh slate to No.4, artificial slate to Nos 5 and 6,
and asphalt to No.7.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys with dormers in attic, 2 windows each. The
ground floor of each house is treated as a shop- or
office-front, and was probably so originally; the common
surviving elements are panelled pilasters flanking each house,
elaborate fascia stops with heads and urns, and fascias
between. The ground floor of No.4 is decorated with chamfered
rustication and has a round-arched entrance with fanlight set
back under a round arch of smooth stucco, and 2 round-arched
windows similarly set back; No.5 has a round-arched entrance
with fanlight and panelled door of original design, and 3
round-arched windows, all 4 openings in a round-arched arcade
with slim Corinthian columns, panelled aprons, bead-and-reel
moulding to sills, moulded archivolts and panelled spandrels;
No.6 has a C20 flat-arched entrance to left, and a shop
entrance inserted in arcaded glazing of late C19 or early C20
shop front; No.7 has late C20 shop front.
The upper floor of No.4 is flanked by rusticated pilaster
strips; first-floor windows flat-arched with architraves and
cornices; storey band, and sill band to second-floor windows
which are segmental-arched with eared architraves and panelled
aprons with lions' heads; the architrave runs up in unmoulded
form to the entablature whose cornice breaks forward over
brackets and panels, forming sills to attic dormers in the
mansard roof, which have flat-arched windows under a round
arch, panelled pilasters and decorated tympana; a balustrade
runs between and in front of the dormers; sashes of original
design to upper floors; corniced stacks to party walls, that
between Nos 5 and 6 lowered. This terrace was built on the
site of part of the south ranges of the Royal Pavilion,
demolished in 1851 when the Crown sold the Pavilion to
Brighton Corporation.
Spot-listing description refers to original stairs, fireplaces
and joinery in Nos 4-5, Nos 6-7 not inspected.
