Hine House

Hine House is a house and drawing office, constructed between 1844 and 1848 by TC Hine of Nottingham, who used it as his home and workplace until his death in 1899. The building is red brick with an ashlar basement and dressings, blue brick diaper work, patterned tile roofs, and a truncated side wall stack. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style.

The building occupies a sloping corner site and comprises two storeys plus a basement and attics, with a 3 x 3 bay arrangement. The windows are set in various Gothic patterns with ashlar surrounds and tracery. A prominent bay window rises from the basement on the left-hand side, featuring four shouldered lights below and four traceried lights above. Above this are a cusped triple lancet and a similar double lancet. A square tower porch with a pyramidal roof is recessed at the corner to the right. Stone steps with a renewed balustrade lead to a Tudor arched doorway at basement level, which has moulded 4-centred arched wooden door. A single lancet window is present on each floor above the doorway, with the upper one set in a recessed panel. The right return displays a lancet window to the ground floor and a trefoil above. An integral single-storey drawing office extends to the right, also with a basement. The main gable facing Regent Street features a square bay window rising from the basement which incorporates a traceried triple light to the basement and a traceried 3-light window above. An angle buttress is located to the right. The right return, facing Oxford Street, is characterised by buttresses and a shouldered doorway to the left; the right side has a bay window rising from the basement with three shouldered lights on each floor.

The interior includes plain Gothic features, with an altered main stair and triple pointed arches with double shafts. One room has a cornice and panelled Gothic door. The drawing office has an open common rafter roof with collars and wooden corbels. A pointed arched marble fireplace, possibly renewed, is present, incorporating a tile surround and wooden case.
