Description

70 St James' Street is a town house that has been converted into offices. It was built in the mid-18th century and restored in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with painted ashlar dressings and features plain tile roofs with coped gables and two gable stacks. There is a rendered plinth and sill bands on each floor, along with a wooden modillion eaves cornice. The building has an L-plan layout and consists of four storeys with a three-window range of renewed glazing bar sashes, which have brick flat arches above them. The third floor features two-light casements. At the rear, to the right, there is an original part-glazed six-panel door set in a renewed doorcase with a cornice, and above this door, there is a round-arched stair window. Additionally, a three-storey rear addition has two segment-arched glazing bar sashes on each floor.
