Knightsbridge
Egerton Terrace
Egerton Terrace is a cul-de-sac. The properties themselves are not identical, and it is not known if Basevi had a hand in their design. All the houses have stuccoed façades which is certainly a feature of his style.
The terrace on the west side of the street have three main storeys, garrets, and semi-basements.
The east side is mainly a terrace of two storey houses with semi-basements. But Nos. 23 and 25 are a semi-detached pair of three-storey villas; and No. 6 is an individual house with a central entrance. The east side terrace may have fewer floors, but the houses have wider frontages and greater depth than the west side ones. They were built with flat rear elevations with no closet wings, but attic storeys have been added to most of them. Some of the houses are large enough to accommodate an L-shaped hallway in which the staircase makes a quarter turn in its upper flight.
The houses have large porches with Greek Corinthian capitals on the columns. The ground-floor windows have hoods supported on carved consoles. At roof level there is a prominent cornice on brackets and there is a balustrade along the parapet.
