34-40, WARWICK PLACE

The property comprises two pairs of semi-detached villas, now houses with a hotel to the right, dating to circa 1840 and subject to later alterations. The construction is principally pinkish-brown brick with painted stucco front and side facades, featuring concealed roofs. The architectural style is Neo-Tudor.

The exterior presents three storeys with basements, displaying eight first-floor windows, a single-storey embattled entrance range in the centre, and a deeply-recessed three-storey single-bay to the right. The end bays of each pair project to two storeys and are accentuated by angle buttresses.

Entrances are located off-centre to the left, centrally with two entrances, and on the right return. The left entrance features a six-panel, part-glazed door with a Gothic overlight within a chamfered, four-centred surround. The central entrance range showcases four-centred, moulded arches with buttresses between. One entrance door matches the style of the left entrance; the second provides access to the garden; a third entrance is incorporated within the right-hand arch, previously an entrance; and the fourth, on the right return, comprises a six-panel door within a moulded surround and a porch with a cornice. A glazed porch provides access to the deeply-recessed bay.

The ground and first floors are largely characterised by three-light 'mullion and transom' casement windows. One window has margin-lights, several have one- and two-light windows, and those in the centre display hollow-moulded hoods. Ground-floor end windows feature a quatrefoil frieze, surmounted at first-floor level by a plain parapet to the two on the left and battlements to the two on the right. Some windows have blind boxes. A hollow-moulded band defines the first floor.

The second floor features two-light, pointed-arched windows in pointed-arched surrounds with perpendicular-type tracery to the heads. These are accompanied by hollow-moulded hoods with face stops; the one on the right retains casements with margin lights, while others have casements. All windows are framed by chamfered surrounds. The central section possesses a modillion cornice and low parapets, with raised central parapets to the projections. The right projection has an embattled parapet with a modillion cornice and end finials. Basement windows are fitted with casements. The building exhibits truncated centre stacks and tall stacks with cornices to the rear.

Internally, the property retains original joinery, including shutters to some windows.
