Basement has two C20 six/six-sashes in plain reveals with splayed lintels and stone sills, half-glazed door with four-pane overlight infilling beneath crossover, timber area steps largely missing.

HISTORY: Northampton Street was built on the pleasure grounds of No.14 Royal Crescent, the property of Charles Hamilton. Purchased by the Pulteney Estate in 1791, surveyed by Thomas Baldwin, but plans by Thomas Chantry in 1795 and John Pinch the Elder in 1799 (his first major work) superseded his. By 1800 there were 17 houses in Northampton Street, and this will have been one of them.
