These distinctive, Gothic Revival semi-detached houses were built in the late 1860s and early 1870s. The houses are constructed in yellow stock brick with a red brick string course and headers to windows. The houses are three storeys above a raised basement. Each house has a full-height central projecting bay with a canted two-storey secondary bay. Complex hipped roofs, slate covered (some have concrete interlocking tiles), with centre valley to reduce roof height. Timber sash windows - windows on front elevation differ from floor-to-floor, reducing in number and height up the building, to give heavy appearance with few, relatively small windows. Small gables over central top floor bedroom windows are steeply pitched, with ornamental bargeboards and pointed finials. Brickwork corbelled out at eaves, with painted stone brackets. Main entrances at raised ground floor level are recessed with Romanesque half-round brick arches over openings to front and gable elevations. At rear top two floors are set back to provide roof terrace. Shallow pitched slate roof.
Nos. 1-15 Lordship Park are unusual Gothic houses, in near original condition, which together with similar houses opposite (Nos. 2-16) and further to the east (Nos. 77-92) define extent of this development of Lordship Park carried out in 1860s and 1870s.
These buildings were identified by the Love Local Landmarks surveyors, and added to Hackney's Local List in 2012.
