36, Calthorpe Road B15

No. 36 Calthorpe Road is a Grade II* listed detached villa built around 1835, designed in a richly decorated Graeco-Egyptian style and set back from the road. The villa has two storeys and a stucco front, featuring a three-bay main block with single-storey wings on either side. The building has a plinth and a channelled ground floor with quoin piers. The first floor is marked by a sill course, and the three bays are framed by four pairs of Corinthian pilasters that support the main entablature and projecting sections of the parapet.

A monumental porch features coupled fluted Corinthian columns on bases, standing on plinths with vermiculated rustication, and steps rise between them. The deep entablature has a blocking course. The entrance door is set in a splayed Egyptian surround, studded with rosettes and flanked by unfluted Corinthian pilasters. The windows on the main block have "Egyptian" eaved architraves, decorated with wreaths on the ground floor and supported by acanthus palmettes in the cornices; the first floor windows are plain with a second stringcourse above.

The symmetrical wings have window panels flanked by plain pilaster strips towards the house and Corinthian pilasters inset from the corners. The entablatures are topped with oversized parapets featuring central openwork panels of square-section balusters. The garden front is also grand in scale, with slight breaks at the centre and ends of the channelled ground floor. The first floor has three large eaved architrave windows set in panels between panelled pilaster strips, with the eaves cornice and parapet featuring incised panels that break forward in line with the windows. The left wing serves as the entrance front, while the right is a simple lean-to. Coupled pilasters flank the house, and there are corniced chimney stacks.
