II

House. Built in 1851 for Charles Freshfield. Stucco. 2 hipped roofs of slate, that to left longer than the other. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys over half basement. Rectangular in plan with a 6-window range to the front, and a 2-window range to left return and rear. All windows are flat arched with deep reveals. A description of the main principal elevation to West Drive follows. The broad basement area is enclosed by a low retaining wall interrupted by socles, those at ends, which rise higher than the rest, are attached to the front wall of the house by a curving parapet wall. There are similar curving walls between the second- and third-window range and between the 4th- and 5th-window range. The ground- and first-floor windows have plain architraves. A continuous ground-floor verandah is supported by 5 twisted cast-iron colonnettes each with an acanthus-leaf capital. The verandah is enclosed by a cast-iron railing of an original mid-C19 design. Still thinner colonnettes support the curved metal roof. The ends of the verandah are closed off by short walls. Projecting and bracketed eaves are continuous around the building. The main entrance can be found on the left return; it is flat arched and set under a large porch, square in plan, with Tuscan corner pilasters and responds; the stucco capitals and entablature of the porch are at the time of writing (January 1992) damaged; above the porch is a parapet with a blind balustrade. A porch of similar design but in excellent condition to the rear elevation. This serves as an entrance from the car park constructed in 1985. Of particular note are the tall, thin stacks to the end and rear walls; stack also found on the join between the hipped roofs; multiple flues gathered at the top of each stack and capped by a simple cornice; the flue guards are in the form of scrolled pediments. INTERIOR: not inspected. Walls, piers and cast-iron railings of an original design to areas on either side of the left-return entrance porch. The house was incorporated into the "Queen's Park Villas" complex during a 1985 restoration and conversion into offices. Prior to this conversion the structure had been used as a nursing home.
