9, Little College Street SW1

No. 9 Little College Street is a terrace house built around 1722, with a sympathetic refacing to the entrance front completed around 1900. The building features red brick construction with a multi-coloured stock brick rear elevation facing Cowley Street and has a tiled roof. It stands three storeys high, with a basement and a dormered mansard. The façade is five windows wide, including a coved corner treatment on the second floor and attic at the right-hand angle.

The central entrance has a panelled door with a square-headed fanlight, set within a wooden architrave doorcase. This doorcase is flanked by strips adorned with lion-head foliated drops and features console-brackets supporting an entablature that has a pulvinated frieze, a dentil cornice, and a broken pediment. Below the entablature is a panel decorated with a satyr mask and swags. The windows are nearly flush framed glazing bar sashes in exposed boxing, positioned under flat gauged red brick arches, with block keystones on the ground floor. There is a brick plat band at the first floor and another band below the parapet with coping.

The rear elevation facing Cowley Street is also five windows wide, featuring nearly flush framed glazing bar sashes under segmental red brick arches. It has stuccoed plat bands at each floor and a parapet with coping. The property includes cast iron area railings with flambé torch finials. Inside, the house retains original features such as panelling, boxed and bracketed cornices, and a finely crafted cut and carved string staircase with grouped balusters and a ramped handrail. The rear elevation contributes to the exceptionally well-preserved early 18th-century housing in the surrounding area of Barton, Cowley, and Lord North Streets.
