21, Clarendon Square

No. 21, Clarendon Square is a house dating from approximately 1828 to 1832, with later alterations. It is constructed of pinkish-brown brick with painted stucco to the front and side facades, has a Welsh slate roof, and a cast-iron verandah. The house is two storeys high with attics, and comprises three bays, with a recessed single-storey bay to the left side. The side bay contains a three-panel door set behind a fluted Doric screen that adjoins No. 20. The main facade on the ground floor has three ten-pane French windows, each within an eared, tooled surround. The first floor has twelve-pane sashes with eared architraves and sills with feet. There is an eaves band, and roof dormers with casement windows. End stacks are present. The verandah, which runs across the ground floor, is characterised by delicate anthemion-motif pilasters. The interior has not been inspected. The house is part of a complete square of stucco terraces laid out around 1828 to plans by PF Robinson, architect, of Brook Street, Mayfair. The houses were completed around 1832 and the gardens within the square were planted with trees in May 1830. Numbers 11 to 21, together, form a notable group of buildings.
