SD5329SE WINCKLEY SQUARE 941-1/11/298 (South side) 27/09/79 Nos.14 AND 15 and attached railings and coach house

GV II

Pair of large town houses, now barristers' chambers and office. c.1830, for Peter Catterall (attorney), with very early addition to make 2 houses; altered. Red brick in Flemish bond, with sandstone dressings and slate roof. Deep double-depth plan with back extensions and attached outbuildings including former coach-house. Three storeys with cellars and attics, 3+3 bays, but apparently designed initially as 5 bays (vertical joints in the front and rear walls, and an upstand over the 4th bay, showing that the 1st bay was added to an otherwise symmetrical 5-bay composition); ashlar basement, 1st-floor sill-band, plain frieze, moulded cornice and blocking course with upstand over 4th bay. The doorways, in the 1st and 4th bays resectively, both up 3 steps with nosings (and boot-scrapers at No.14), have doorcases with engaged columns, plain friezes and moulded cornices, but differ in size and style: Tuscan at No.14 and Ionic at No.15 (the larger); No.14 has a modern door, No.15 has a panelled door, both with overlights and that at No.15 with margin panes. Attached at each side are cast-iron railings with curvilinear balusters enclosing 2-bay basement areas (that to the right with windows but the other now filled in). All the windows are sashed without glazing bars, mostly unhorned, and have raised sills and wedge lintels. Skylight and segmental-headed dormer at No.14; coped gables, side-wall and central chimneys. Right-hand return wall of No.15 (to Camden Place) has various sashed windows on 3 levels; and a narrow 3-storey link to a 2-storey back extension which has sashes on both floors. Attached to rear corner of this, and facing Back Starkie Street, a cubic coach-house which has 2 elliptical arches with triple keystones, the right-hand arch containing a 4-pane sash and the left formerly similar but now blind, a stone band, 2 segmental-headed windows at 1st floor (the 1st blind and the 2nd a 2-light casement), a stone gutter cornice and pyramidal roof. INTERIOR of No.15 has front room with egg-and-dart frieze and elaborate plaster cornice; doglegged staircase with stick balusters and wreathed mahogany handrail; full cellar suite, with fireplace in front room (now blocked); otherwise, altered.
