Description

No 4 Clifford Street is a terrace house built in 1719 by John Witt. It features brown brick construction with a stuccoed ground floor that was altered in the early 19th century, and it has a slate roof. The building stands four storeys tall with a basement and is three windows wide. To the left, there is an early 19th-century semicircular arched doorway with a fanlight, along with an enlarged ground floor window. The upper floors have segmental arched windows with revealed sashes and intact glazing bars on the second and third floors. The building has a parapet with coping. A giant pilaster, topped with an urn, forms the party wall shared with No 5. This house is part of the development of the Burlington Estate. Inside, it retains a panelled entrance hall with a box cornice and a staircase. The lower flight of the staircase features cut carved strings, turned balusters, columnar newels, and a moulded handrail, while the upper flight is similar but has a closed string.
