Number 24 And Attached Railings

Number 24 is a terraced town house, now used as offices, with origins dating back to around 1742. It was refronted around 1850 by Thomas Cundy II, with a top storey added around 1880 and a portico constructed in 1889 by Goldie, Child and Goldie. The ground floor features a bay window designed by R Selden Wornum, who may have also been involved in the Jacobethan interior remodelling for Sydney Ernest Kennedy, likely around 1906-1907. The building is made of yellow stock brick with stucco dressings and has a tiled mansard roof with pedimented dormers. It stands four storeys tall, including an attic and basement, and has three windows.

The projecting portico is supported by paired Ionic columns and features an entablature topped with a scrolled pediment adorned with a festoon, behind which is a balustraded balcony above the first-floor window. The ground floor window has a canted bay with a transom and mullion. The upper floors have architraved casements, with the first floor showcasing console-bracketed cornices and a continuous bracketed sill band. There is a subsidiary cornice at the third-floor level, along with a main projecting cornice and blocking course above the third floor. Attached to the property are cast iron railings.

The interior is designed in Jacobethan style, which is unusual for Mayfair, with the first-floor drawing room reflecting a French style. The original decoration was more elaborate. Notable features include a hall with a distyle in antis Corinthian screen supporting a 4-centred arch, high-quality carved Jacobethan and Flemish panelling with portrait medallions (some possibly old), and a timber dog leg stair in 17th-century style with turned balusters and a panelled dado leading to the second floor with a landing. There is also a rear servants' stair to the top floors. The ground floor rooms are equipped with Venetian Renaissance style fireplaces, including one in the front room that is a reproduction composition, while the rear room may have an original marble fireplace with an old fireback. The upper floors are plainer but feature a finely enriched classically styled dividing wall on the first floor with double doors.
