Number 4 And Attached Balustrade

This villa, later used as a club, was built around 1824 to 1836, with later additions in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of pinkish-brown brick with painted stucco facades, and has a Welsh slate roof and cast-iron balustrade. The villa is two storeys high with a basement, featuring three first-floor windows and a lower, recessed bay to the left. The main range has a continuous band across the first floor, topped by Doric pilasters at the ends and between the windows, with a frieze, cornice, and blocking course. The first-floor windows are 10-pane French windows with margin lights. The ground floor has six steps leading to a central entrance with a part-glazed, panelled door and a fanlight with radial glazing bars, set within a distyle Doric porch with engaged pilasters, frieze. Bow windows in the outer bays rise from the basement through the ground floor; they are blind on the basement level and have two 6/6 sash windows on the ground floor. The basement level has a central entrance with a four-panel door. A four-panel door with an overlight and two 2-pane sashes are located on the left bay. End stacks are present. The interior was not inspected. The area balustrade and the balustrades to the sides of the porch are decorated with a paterae-and-anthemion motif. Portland Street was laid out between 1823 and 1824, and this building forms an architectural group with numbers 2 to 8 Portland Street.
