Feldon House And Attached Railings

Feldon House, built around 1824 to 1828, is a house, now converted into flats, with attached railings. The exterior is constructed of pinkish-brown brick with a painted stucco front facade, topped by a Welsh slate roof. It has three storeys plus a basement and attics, with a four-window frontage on the first floor. The ground, first, and second floors have 6/6 sash windows with tooled architraves; all except the two windows on the left of the second floor have decorative “ears” to the architraves. A four-panel door with an overlight is set within a two-columned Doric porch with a frieze, cornice, and blocking course. The basement has a four-panel door to the third bay, alongside other sash windows of sizes 4/4, 6/6 and 8/8. There’s a frieze, cornice, and a low parapet. Dormers are present in the roof, and the building has ridge and end stacks. Two full-height curved bays feature 6/6 sash windows. The interior has not been inspected. Attached lancet area railings run along the front and to the sides of the porch. Portland Place was laid out in 1823–4 and Feldon House forms part of an architectural group with numbers 4 to 14 (even) Portland Place and numbers 52 and 54 Grove Street.
