Description

29 and 31 St Saviourgate is a house that has been converted into offices. It was built in 1735, with an extension added in 1739, and was subdivided in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of orange brick in Flemish bond, sitting on a part concrete plinth and part painted stone, with a timber cornice. The roof features tiles at the front and pantiles at the rear, along with brick stacks and four flat-topped dormers that have 2- or 3-light windows.

The exterior consists of two storeys and an attic, with a five-bay original front that has a slightly projecting centre bay, and a four-bay extension to the right. The original entrance to No. 29 is located in the projecting bay and features a replacement doorcase with a round-arched architrave, fluted impost band, spandrels adorned with garlanded wheatear mouldings, and a dentilled open pediment on grooved consoles with foliate pendants. The entrance to No. 31 is to the right, in an inserted doorcase with plain pilasters and a heavy moulded and modillioned cornice. Both entrances have doors with six raised and fielded panels; No. 29's door includes a patterned fanlight, while No. 31's door has a divided overlight. At the right end, there is an original door with eight sunk panels and a radial-glazed fanlight set in a round-arched opening that leads to a side passage.

The ground floor windows are 12-pane sashes, while the first-floor windows are unequal 15-pane sashes, all featuring flat arches made of gauged brick and stone sills, some of which are painted. The window arches on the second floor are partly obscured by a moulded dentilled and modillioned cornice. There is a raised band of brick to the left of the doorcase to No. 29 and a painted stone band to the right and across the extension front. Additionally, there are two ornate moulded rainwater heads embossed with winged cherub heads.

The interior has not been inspected, but records indicate that No. 29 originally contained a staircase with a close string, turned and fluted balusters, and square fluted newels topped with a moulded, ramped handrail. The first-floor room in No. 29 and the ground-floor room in No. 31 feature bolection moulded panelling and elaborate plaster overmantels.
