35, Craven Street Wc2

35 Craven Street is a corner terraced town house built in 1731, with alterations made around 1792. The building features brown brick with red brick dressings and a channelled stucco ground floor, topped by a concealed slate roof. It stands four storeys high, with the top floor added during the 1792 alterations, and includes a basement. The façade is three windows wide, with a four-window return to Craven Passage.

The entrance is located to the left, featuring an elliptical arched opening in a plain stucco surround, with a recessed panelled door and a patterned fanlight above. The windows are recessed glazing bar sashes set under flat gauged red brick arches. A cornice band finishes the ground floor stuccowork, while a stone cornice crowns the second floor, leading to a parapet with coping at the attic storey. The first floor has bowed cast iron balconettes, and the area is enclosed by cast iron railings topped with spike finials.

Inside, the house retains many original features, including fielded panelling in the passage hall and front rooms. There is a Doric pilastered archway leading to the stairwell, which is also panelled and features a cut and carved string staircase that transitions to a closed string for the upper flights. The staircase has three turned balusters per tread, with column newels and a mahogany handrail. The panelling in the first floor front room is enhanced with egg and dart moulded architraves, shell ornamentation in the ears, and a decorative modillion cornice. The chimney breast is flanked by fluted Ionic pilasters that support an entablature with a carved pulvinated frieze, and the ceiling is panelled with two rectangles flanking a circle.

This property is part of the Craven family's development of their Brewhouse estate, which was laid out by Flitcroft.
