Description
15 St James's Place is an end-of-terrace house built around 1780 to 1790. It features a brown brick exterior and a slate roof, rising four storeys with a basement and a dormered mansard. The front has two windows, while the sides have seven windows in total, with the entrance located off-centre. The two-window front includes revealed sash windows without glazing bars, set under flat gauged arches. There is a stuccoed canted bay on the first floor, featuring early to mid-19th century casements supported by cast iron columns and topped with a dentil cornice. A stone cornice runs below the parapet, which has coping, and there are cast iron area railings. The flank wall has revealed sash windows along with some blind windows. The entrance consists of a semicircular arched doorway with a fanlight.
Inside, the house includes some panelling, a dog leg staircase, and a late 18th century cornice. Additionally, there is a wall-mounted Windsor gas lantern above the northernmost ground-floor window on the west elevation.
