Kensington Court Place is a short street with a large mansion block on the east side and a terrace of three-storey plus basement terraced Victorian houses on the west side.
The architecture at the southern end suddenly changes when it leads into Stanford Road.
Kensington Court Place was part of the Vallotton Estate.
Jonathan Hampston, a local carpenter, built fourteen houses of which the survivors are Nos. 6-15 Kensington Court Place. It was called Charles Place until 1908.
