Hoghton Chambers

Hoghton Chambers is a villa that has been converted into offices, likely built between 1870 and 1880, with some alterations. It features red brick with sandstone dressings and decorative woodwork, topped with a steeply-pitched slate roof that has three bands of fishscale tiles. The building has an approximately square but irregular double-depth plan and is situated on a corner site, designed in the Gothic style.

The exterior is two storeys high and presents an asymmetrical three-window facade to Hoghton Street. To the left, there is a large gabled bay with a raised centre that has three offsets, featuring a tall two-light sashed window on each floor and a blind arched lancet at the attic level. The roof has oversailing bracketed verges that are further decorated with bargeboarding pierced with quatrefoils and clasping a pendant, which may have once supported a finial. The right bay projects similarly under a gable, with a pair of two-light windows at the ground floor, two segmental-headed sashes at the first floor, and a small square-headed lancet at the attic level. Between these bays, each floor has one tall window. There is a ridge chimney and a gable chimney on the right.

The left return facade, facing Mornington Road, has a three-bay design with a shallow gabled porch in the centre, supported by side buttresses. The porch features a two-centred arched doorway that is moulded in two orders and has a hoodmould, along with a coped gable above. A single-light window is situated above the doorway. To the left of the porch is a projected gable with a chimney that extrudes from the first floor, which has a carved stone plaque with the monogram ET, and decorated bargeboarding. To the right, there is a canted two-storey bay window at the ground floor with a pair of segmental-headed sashed windows at the first floor, mirroring the gable style seen on the other facade. The interior has not been inspected.
