Part of Somerset Place. Somerset Place was built in two stages, starting in the early 1790s with the central section (the pair of houses in the centre of the photo with the tympanum) by local architect John Eveleigh, with work having to stop due to his bankruptcy. It was later completed in 1820. Parts were damaged by incendiary bombs in the Second World War, but were fully restored. Grade I listed - see http://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1394986.
