G.V. II*

Town mansion. Built c.1750-60 as 3 town houses, very convincingly altered as one mansion c.1905, but retaining fine original interior features. Brown brick with yellow brick dressings, slate roof. Astylar Palladian facade. 3 storeys, basement and dormered mansard. 7 windows wide, the broader pedimented central bay slightly advanced. This contains large semicircular arched opening framing panelled and studded double doors with side lights and rope moulded pilasters carrying fluted doorhead beneath patterned fanlight with blind panelled surround springing from flanking piers. Recessed glazing bar sashes set in blind ground floor arcading with impost string carried on to centrepiece. On upper floors the centre is distinguished by Venetian windows, elaborated with a central segmental pediment on 1st floor and plain on 2nd floor. Wings have glazing bar sashes recessed under flat gauged arches. 1st floor plat band and sill band; bracketed cornice and parapet with coping flanking central pediment. Wrought iron area railings with scroll lampstandards and link extinguishers. The interior retains very fine series of reception rooms, those to rear retaining fine original Rococo plasterwork ceilings, statuary marble chimney pieces either Palladian or late C.18 Greek Revival, doorcases and door furniture. Entrance lobby, screen and stair in large staircase compartment to left, all very good neo-Georgian work with Venetian cartouche panels ordering the walls and compartmented ceiling. The "secondary" staircase in the centre to right would appear to be original, geometric with a flying curve and column balusters, domed top light with swag frieze. The 1st floor vestibule off main staircase has reset mid C.18 French boiseries. The Edwardian refurbishment is of exceptional quality and carried out with great sensitivity. Linked to the rear, at ground floor level, is a former coach house given a polite 3-bay pedimented elevation towards the house.
