Description
Audley House is a block of flats built in 1907 by architects J.W. Simpson and M. Ayrton. The building features red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof, designed in a Free Style Tudor manner. It is a large, symmetrical structure that stands five storeys tall, with a basement, attics, and part mansard roof. The facade is 15 bays wide, including an oriel corner turret facing Great Titchfield Street.
The front of the building has recessed, stone-dressed flat arched doorways at the center of each section, which are linked to Nos. 11 and 12. The ground floor includes bay windows, some of which have been altered. The windows are sheer stone mullioned and transomed casements. The centerpiece of the elevation features two steep stone gables, alternating with four-storey stone canted oriels and four two-storey stone oriels on the flanking sections.
Above the third floor, there is a modillion bracketed stone cornice that integrates with the oriel bays of the centerpiece. The gable end facing Great Titchfield Street has a cornice that returns behind the corner oriel turrets, with a central first-floor semicircular arched window that has an eared architrave and opens onto a balcony. A corbelled chimney stack rises through the shaped gable.
A short screen wall with a gateway separates the gable end from the adjacent block, providing fine views of the All Saints tower. The area railings feature Arts and Crafts ironwork. The building is listed in part for its group value.
