Number 34 And Gate Piers At Entrance To Edric House, Grosvenor Estate

Number 34 and the gate piers at the entrance to Edric House on the Grosvenor Estate are a former lodge, now a shop, designed by consultant Sir Edwin Lutyens between 1928 and 1930 as part of the Westminster Housing Scheme for the Grosvenor Estate. The building is constructed from Portland stone ashlar and grey brick, topped with a slate roof, and is designed in a Neo-Georgian style. It is a single-storey pavilion featuring a tripartite front with a central glazing bar sash window. There is a glazed and panelled door set in a stone architrave, flanked by similar sash windows. The façade is articulated by deeply channelled piers and quoin piers, with a cornice and parapet below the eaves of the pyramidal roof, which is crowned with a finial. The gate piers, made of ashlar and topped with ball finials, are located at the entrance and correspond with the piers at the ends of the courtyard wings.
