Basildon House

Basildon House is a late 19th-century building designed in a Baroque style with Grecian details. It stands three storeys high with two additional attic storeys that are set back. The building features three bays facing Moorgate and five bays on the return side. The ground floor is made of pink granite, which serves as a plinth.

The first and second floors are constructed from Portland stone and are adorned with polished granite giant Composite columns, which are square at the corners of the building. Each elevation has large bow oriel windows, with the one on Moorgate extending to the third floor. The main entablature projects forward over the columns and follows the curve of the oriels. The third floor, which acts as an attic storey, has bold sculpted volutes that support large urn finials, separating paired windows that are topped with pediments featuring carved tympana. The upper attic floor includes pedimented windows that break up a deep and richly decorated frieze.
