Description
Apsley House, located at 35 and 36 Waterloo Street, is a building dating from around 1830. It is constructed of stucco and consists of three storeys plus a modern slated attic storey, featuring five bays arranged in a rhythm of 1:3:1, along with a sixth bay. The ground floor showcases banded rustication, with a central original door accessed by three steps, flanked by Ionic columns that support an entablature. This level also includes four windows and a subsidiary door.
On the first floor, the windows are set on a moulded cornice within tall moulded surrounds, with cornices in bays one and five. Decorative panels are present above the windows in bays two and four, while bay three features a prominent pediment on brackets. The sixth bay contains a plain window. The second floor windows are framed in moulded surrounds and have small Soanian incised decorations below, with another plain window in the sixth bay. All window sashes are complete with glazing bars. The first and second floors are adorned with pilasters that also feature Soanian incised decoration. The frieze is embellished with wreaths and rich acanthus scrolls, and there is a moulded eaves cornice and blocking course, with a pedimented centre.
