Description

Mulberry Court is a garage with attached residential accommodation, built in 1924 and designed by Robert Sharp. The garage is set back between a pair of residential blocks, and has a stuccoed facade with a reinforced concrete and steel frame, and a pitched slate roof to a parapet. The flanking wings are of brick and stucco, with green slate roofs.

The garage is two storeys high, with seven bays. Entrances to the end bays are through wide, segmental-headed openings with prominent keystones. Giant pilaster strips separate the bays. The ground floor has floor-to-ceiling glazing, and the upper floor windows have low cills and full-width glazing divided into three parts by mullions treated as pilasters on the ground floor; metal framed windows are 35-paned to the ground floor and 21-paned to the upper floor, in each bay. A cornice sits above the first floor, featuring paired modillions above the pilaster strips. The parapet rises to the centre bay to form a stepped central feature. Above the entrances, the words 'Carlyle Garages' are written in blue faience on a white faience ground.

The residential blocks, which formerly included chauffeurs' accommodation, are set forward to the right and left. Each block is four storeys high plus an attic, with three bays wide and three-bay returns to the right and left. The left block has a plate glass shop window and a late 20th-century fascia to the ground floor. The right block retains some original margin glazing and a central, square headed, pilastered and corniced entrance. Banded quoins are above the ground floor. There are square headed windows with stucco architraves to the first floor, and a central, square headed window to the second floor. Casement windows with small, leaded panes are present. A prominent cornice sits above each block, above the third floor. The attic has a mansard roof with three square headed, corniced windows, the central ones being pedimented.
