91-95 Camberwell Grove
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 6 Apr 2012
A stately trio of Georgian houses, late C18th, each of three storeys plus basement and attic, and three bays wide. Extra flourishes include the cast-iron balconies and red rubbed brick dressings to the windows. The proportioning is typically Palladian, emphasis on the first floor (or piano nobile) reflecting its premier status. The windows are one-and-a-half times the height of those on the ground floor and twice that of the second-floor windows. The gap between the windows (width-wise) is almost exactly the same as the width of the windows. All to maximise the aesthetic appeal. Grade II listed.
