Description
No. 3 Carlton Gardens is a large town house built around 1828 by Decimus Burton. It is constructed of stucco and features slate roofs. The house is part of the southern end of Nash's Via Triumphalis and is situated on the continuation of the terrace that carries Carlton House Terrace, facing the Mall. The building has three storeys and an attic, with a basement and a low dormered mansard roof. It is four windows wide.
The entrance is located to the left, under a portico-porch supported by two pairs of Ionic columns, topped with a balustraded parapet. The windows are recessed glazing bar sashes set in shallow architraves, with cornices on consoles at the ground and first floors. There is a dentil cornice above the second floor and a cornice with a blocking course at the attic level. The first-floor windows feature blind balustrading below their sills. The return facing the park is five windows wide and has similar architectural details, including a fully developed balustraded first-floor balcony supported by shallow console brackets. The property is enclosed by cast iron spearhead area railings.
