10, Hertford Street W1

No 10 Hertford Street is a Grade I listed terraced town house built around 1768-69 as part of the development of the south side of Hertford Street by the elder Henry Holland and his son, in partnership with John Eldridge. The interior was designed by Robert Adam for General Burgoyne between 1769 and 1771. The building features brown brick with a stuccoed ground floor and a slate roof. It stands four storeys high, including an attic storey, and has a basement. The facade is three windows wide, with the entrance located to the left, featuring a panelled door and sidelights beneath a segmental fanlight, all within a stucco surround that includes an archivolt and cornice above. The windows are recessed sashes without glazing bars, set under flat gauged arches. A moulded stone cornice runs above the second floor, leading to an attic parapet with coping. There are 19th-century cast iron balconettes on the first floor and wrought iron area railings with lamp standards. The interior showcases a fine Adam design, with enriched and painted plaster ceilings and mouldings, along with an elegant stone staircase featuring a wrought iron balustrade. The house was once the residence of General ("Gentleman Johnny") Burgoyne and R. B. Sheridan.
