Description
No. 53 Mount Street is an end-of-terrace town house built between 1895 and 1897 by John E. Trollope. The house features red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof, and is somewhat larger than the other terrace houses, displaying a more pronounced Queen Anne style. It has four main storeys, a basement, and a gabled attic, with an asymmetrical elevation that is two windows wide.
The entrance is located to the right, featuring a stone voussoired arch that leads to a recessed porch, topped by a boldly bracketed stone hood that forms a balustraded balcony above the first-floor window. The first and upper floor windows in this right-hand bay are set within a slightly projecting three-storey corniced panel. To the left, there is a canted stone-dressed bay window that extends from the basement to the second floor. The windows include casements and glazing bar sashes, with a row of attic casements divided in the center by a moulded brick cartouche dated 1896.
The facade is topped with a tall gable that has elaborately scrolled stone kneelers and a saddlestone apex, which features a cartouche and a scrolled pediment. The house also has a gabled asymmetrical return elevation and prominent stone-capped chimney stacks. Additionally, there are cast iron area and garden railings. This building is part of the Grosvenor Estate's late 19th-century redevelopment and is related to Nos. 34-42 Park Street.
