11, Great George Street SW1

No. 11 Great George Street is a town house that was formerly part of a terrace, built around 1755-1756. It features darkened grey brick and a slate roof, with a well-proportioned, pedimented ashlar Palladian front. The building has three storeys and an attic storey beneath a full-width pediment, as well as a basement. It is three windows wide, with a doorway on the right that has a panelled door and a loop patterned fanlight, set in a wooden doorcase with engaged Ionic columns supporting an entablature. The windows are recessed glazing bar sashes under flat gauged red brick arches. There are Portland stone plat bands and sill bands at the first floor, creating a pseudo-parapet, and at the second floor, which serves as the base of the full-width pediment that contains an oval attic window with red brick gauged dressing. The first floor features wrought iron balconettes, and there are wrought iron area railings topped with urn finials. Inside, the house has a fine stone staircase with a wrought iron balustrade that incorporates an S pattern motif, a fine statuary marble chimneypiece in the front room on the first floor, and good plasterwork and cornices.
