Byron House

Byron House is an early 18th century house with a front that was stuccoed in the early 19th century. It has three storeys and three windows, featuring a banded rusticated ground floor that leads to a first-floor band. The second-floor string is supported by side pilasters of the first-floor windows. The building is topped with a mutule cornice and a parapet, and it has a high-pitched hipped tiled roof. The windows are replaced sashes with glazing bars, and those on the second floor are set in a moulded architrave. The entrance features a six-panel door, which is top glazed and set in a rusticated surround with voussoirs and a mask on the key block. The doorcase is adorned with attached Ionic columns, a pulvinated frieze, and a modillioned cornice. Inside, the house retains complete original panelling and two original marble fireplaces. The original staircase has a cut string and carved tread ends, with spiral balusters—two to a tread on the lower flight and three above. The original floorboards are also present. Additionally, there is a later elliptical arch on fluted columns in the hall. Byron House is part of a group that includes No 11A, Nos 13 and 15, Nos 17 to 21 (odd), and No 23, collectively known as The Sycamores.
