Grove House and Attached Railings

Grove House is a villa built around 1830, likely designed by James Morgan, with later additions and alterations. It features reddish-brown brick with painted stucco on the front and right sides, a Welsh slate roof, and cast-iron railings. The building has two storeys, a basement, and an attic, with three windows on the first floor. Access is via four steps leading to a central entrance that includes a five-panel door with an overlight featuring glazing bars, all framed by an architrave supported by Tuscan pilasters, a frieze, a cornice, and an engaged blocking course. The windows are 6/6 sashes set in tooled surrounds, and the front gable has a pediment with a central 3/6 sash also in a tooled surround. The ornamental lancet railings across the front are a notable feature. Although the interior was not inspected, it is important to note that Newbold Street was laid out in 1826. Grove House is part of an architectural group that includes Nos 10-38 (even) Hamilton Terrace and No. 40 Holly Walk.
