SP3166SW BEAUCHAMP HILL 1208-1/1/42 (North side) 25/03/70 Nos.15 AND 17 Beauchamp House

GV II

Villa, now 3 flats. c1837 with later alterations. Probably by William Buddle, Sr and Jr, builders of Nos 19 and 21 Beauchamp Hill (qv). Brick with painted stucco facades and Welsh slate roof. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attic and basement, 3 first-floor windows, house recessed to left. Entrance to centre of main facade: 2 steps to 5-panel door with overlight in distyle Doric porch with engaged pilasters, architrave and frieze, cornice and blocking course. 6/6 sashes in plain reveals with sills throughout, full-height to ground floor. First-floor band continues around building. Basement has 8/8 and 3/3 sashes. Main range has frieze, cornice and low parapet, parapet stepped to left recess. Roof stack. To right return are three 6/6 sashes to ground and 3 to first floor, with two 3/6 sashes to gable end; small 6/6 sash to basement. Rear, garden facade has off-centre bow window through basement and ground floor with two 6/9 sashes to ground floor and two 6/6 sashes to basement. Continuous first-floor band with cornice and blocking course to bow. Otherwise 6/6 and 4/4 sashes. To right return a round-arched staircase window with fixed lights, otherwise 6/6 and 3/6 sashes. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: the Board of Health Map of 1852 indicates that this villa was included in the original (uncompleted) scheme for a Circus, with the houses constructed to face inwards and the present garden facades as the main fronts. Planned as Bertie Circus, the scheme had been abandoned by 1838 when DG Squirhill's Survey names Clarendon Crescent. Presumably this was the last of the villas to be built as it has a coherent front and garden facade. The original architectural scheme for Nos 1-9 (consecutive) Clarendon Crescent (qqv) and Nos 15 and 17 Beauchamp Hill with its series of full-height bows is best seen from the rear (or garden) facade.
