12, Clarendon Place

No. 12 Clarendon Place is a house that has been converted into offices. It was built between 1836 and 1837, with later alterations made around 1970. The architect was William Startin. The building features pinkish-brown brick with a painted stucco facade and a Welsh slate roof. It has three storeys and a basement, with two windows on the first floor.

The first floor is distinguished by a band that is topped with giant pilasters extending through the first and second floors, along with a frieze, cornice, and a low parapet. The first-floor windows are 10-pane casements with margin-lights set in tooled, eared architraves. The second floor has 6/6 sash windows. On the ground floor, there is an entrance to the right with a late 20th-century door, framed by a pilastered surround with a frieze and cornice. To the left, there is a tripartite window featuring a 6/6 sash flanked by two 2/2 sashes. The basement includes a 20th-century door. At the rear, there is a tall 6/6 staircase sash window with radial glazing at the top and margin-lights.

Historically, this building was part of the left-hand block of the proposed Arbenie Crescent, and Clarendon Place was laid out in 1825.
