SY6879NW ESPLANADE 873-1/18/156 (West side) 12/12/53 Nos.101-115 (Consecutive) Royal Crescent (terrace), with area railings (Formerly Listed as: ESPLANADE Nos.101-115 (Consecutive) Royal Crescent)

GV II

Terrace of 15 houses. c1792-1805 (RCHME). Rendered, slate roofs. A straight terrace, with mansard roofs. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys, attic, and basement, each 3 windows, all plain sashes, those to the first floor brought down to floor level, most with balconies. Each house has 2 dormers; these are raking dormers to Nos 101, 103-105, 108, 110 & 113, the remainder having Victorian gabled forms, with shaped barge-boards and finials. In Nos 106 & 107 the parapet has been cut down opposite the dormers. Ground floor is rusticated, but channelled to No.101, and there are decorative cast-iron balconies, replaced to No.101, and removed from No.112; these are in 2 patterns, either with anthemion, or a heavier infill. To the right of each property is an arch and fanlight in a stepped reveal over a door, panelled to Nos 101, 107 & 111-113; the fanlight to No.113 has Y-tracery. A second-floor sill band, a moulded cornice, blocking course and parapet, and 15 deep ridge stacks, many with chimney pots. The doors are generally on 4 steps, with nosings to Nos 104, 109 & 111-115, and spearhead railings with standards, returns to the doorways, a gate and stone steps to basement, to the left, except to Nos 110 & 112, which have inserted shop fronts, and no basement areas. The left return to King Street is plain, the right return has 3 windows and one small square light, plus a 2-storey wing with slate mansard roof having 2 raking dormers above small 6-pane sashes, and a central basement light. INTERIOR: not inspected. Apart from the total loss of glazing bars from the sashes, this terrace remains relatively unaltered, and is unusual in having no inflections in height or in end bays, nor any bays or oriels. The original intention had been for a large crescent of 49 houses N of Gloucester Row, hence the inappropriate name for this straight run of buildings. (RCHME: Dorset, South-East: London: 1970-: 356).
