Description

Clarendon Chambers is a building comprised of offices and workshops, dated 1853. It was designed by Aicken & Capes of London, with an addition from 1905 and a rear addition dating to circa 1899. The building was restored and converted in the late 20th century. Constructed of red brick and ashlar with ashlar dressings and slate roofs featuring crested ridge tiles, it is designed in a Renaissance Revival style.

The exterior features quoins, a first-floor band, eaves cornices, and shaped coped gables with finials. Windows are largely casements with wooden cross mullions. The building is two storeys in height, with a seven-by-eight-window arrangement. It occupies a corner site and forms an "L" plan, with an elaborate corner pavilion and symmetrical facades, although with some variations. The corner pavilion has two identical fronts. The ground floor is ashlar with rusticated quoins and three round-arched windows featuring keystones. Above this is a canted oriel window beneath a shaped gable. The Clarendon Street front has a central block of three windows, with a central gable. Projecting bays on each side contain single windows. The right bay includes a doorway, and the left bay features a ground-floor window, both with segment-headed arches. To the left is a projecting end bay with single three-light windows. The basement includes a variety of windows, some with stone flush mullions. The addition to the left has three openings on each floor, a coped gable, and a finial. Ground-floor windows are cross-mullioned casements with artificial stone surrounds. The second floor has a larger round-arched central window with voussoirs. The Chaucer Street front mirrors the Clarendon Street front in design, with a central block, gable, and projecting bays. A rear addition, three and four storeys high, forms the west and north sides of a courtyard. A projecting corner block at the east end, four storeys high and three windows wide, has shaped gables and finials.

The interior of the ground floor rooms retains moulded cornices.
