Description
Nos. 7 to 9 Babmaes Street is a former service quarters and coach house associated with No. 4 St. James's Square, likely dating from around 1676 or possibly linked to alterations made around 1725. The street elevation is rebuilt in stock brick and features a slate roof, standing two storeys tall and four windows wide. The garden court elevation of No. 4 St. James's Square is constructed of red brick with painted stone dressings and also has a slate roof. This side is low with three storeys and a basement, three bays wide, with the centre bay advanced and topped with a pediment.
It includes a central architraved doorway with a keystone that rises into a pulvinated frieze, flanked by strips capped with carved consoles that support a broken segmental pediment. This doorway may have been reset from the original house on St. James's Square. The basement features early 19th-century lunette windows, while the other windows are recessed sashes under flat gauged arches. There is a narrow band course above the ground floor of the centre break, a deep sill band at the first floor, and a crowning modillion cornice with a pediment over the centre break.
