12-14, SUFFOLK STREET SW1

These are a pair of terraced houses located at 12-14 Suffolk Street, London SW1, built around 1822-1823 by Lewis William Wyatt. They were designed as part of a larger development of Suffolk Street and Suffolk Place. The houses are constructed of incised coursed stucco with slate roofs, standing three storeys high with a basement and dormered mansards.

Each front is one window wide. The ground floor is channelled, with doorways on the left of each house, although No. 13 originally had a second doorway on its right side. The windows are recessed sash windows, with a semicircular arched window at No. 12. Tuscan pilasters support a block cornice and console brackets for the first-floor iron balconettes. The first-floor windows are architraved, and the second-floor windows are framed. Rusticated quoins mark the ends of the row, and a main entablature is topped by a balustraded parapet in front of the dormers.

The right-hand door of No. 13 provided access to two separate houses at the rear, arranged around a courtyard. Cast iron area railings with crescent and spear heads, and plume finials, are present. Lewis William Wyatt undertook this private speculation and resided at No. 13 from 1823 to 1829.
